His comments relating to “the Black Church” at the protest were inspired by a much-forwarded letter to the editor/online essay by Hill District resident Tracey M. Jennings, asking “Where is the Black Church and their fight for Jordan Miles?” Read her essay here: http://justiceforjordanmiles.com/?p=1364
On May 28th, 2011, activists of the Alliance for Police Accountability, BPEP, 1Hood, members of local churches, and others gathered with 150 others to attach to the Allegheny Courthouse a People’s Indictment against the three officers that beat Jordan Miles.
This was the fourth consecutive protest in four weeks.
