The racist murders in Jacksonville didn’t happen in a vacuum. Words matter | Rev William Barber

Angela Michelle Carr, Jerrald Gallion and Anolt Joseph Laguerre Jr were shot to death in Florida by a man reportedly steeped in the rhetoric of hate

On Saturday those deeds were the racist murders of Angela Michelle Carr, Jerrald Gallion and Anolt Joseph Laguerre Jr at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Florida, by a man who hated Black people", according to the local sheriff.
