In May of 2010 New York City Councilman Jumaane Williams spoke out against the NYPD‘s”Stop and Frisk” policy and highlighted the prejudices of the system.
“If you have more melanin in your skin you are more likely to be stopped…we should be allowed to walk freely.” Councilman Williams
At this year’s Labor Day Parade in Brooklyn Jumaane Williams was inappropriately profiled and detained by the NYPD. Councilman Williams has written a special guest blog for us here at The Black Institute about the situation.
Read it and tell us what you think about how we can move forward towards change!
