From my "friend" Mary......

A Letter From Mary Trayvon Martin’s death revealed, once again, the deep racial fissure that divides our country. This time, though, there is a movement afoot to use this event as a catalyst to address some of the challenges facing us. To further discuss those challenges – and identify solutions – NAACP and Community Members are hosting a rally at Hackley Park on Wednesday, Aug. 7 at 5:00 p.m. Whenever we come together to learn about our challenges and discuss solutions, everyone wins. Too often, our African American Brothers and Sisters have faced these challenges alone.  I noticed that rallies across the country have been whites and blacks standing side by side.  I am hopeful that we can achieve that same inter-racial statement right here in Muskegon. We are still lining up the speakers, but I think you will be pleased with the program. Please join us   WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7 HACKLEY PARK 5:00 NO JUSTICE – NO JOBS – NO PEACE PRESENTED BY NAACP AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS   I hope you will be there to join this movement that is sweeping the land – a movement to further equality and peace among all of us.
