The Mothers of the Movement are speaking now. Mothers who have lost their children to horrific acts of gun violence. Not just police murder, but some like the mother of Hadiya Pendleton, killed by senseless violence in Chicago, not long after performing with her high school troupe for President Obama in 2013.
To think that Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who spoke at last week’s Klan Convention demonizing Black Lives Matter, said the decision to include these women is “embracing criminality” is beyond morally repugnant. Ugh.
