Re “Sharpton leads call for federal investigation of hate crimes,” Nov. 17
In this article, Joe R. Hicks, former head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference’s L.A. chapter, states that the District of Columbia demonstrators were broadcasting a “message of racial victimization” that he said ignored the progress made and opportunities available to African Americans today. I disagree. As long as the Ku Klux Klan, the oldest domestic terrorist organization, and all-white juries exist in America, we still have a need for such marches.
