Speech at the Department of Justice - November 2014

Today I regrettably stand in front of the Justice Department to ask from this America the rights and liberties on which it was founded upon. Today I regrettably stand here in front of the Justice Department, to ask from this America what Dr. King, Malcolm X, Thurgood Marshall, and many more African Americans have asked. What we ask is that America treats the black man and woman as a United States citizen with all the rights that our Declaration of Independence profoundly reads, “That all men are created equal.” With that said we demand that the Justice Department stand with the millions of citizens across America who says: • No to police profiling people in our neighborhoods • No to military equipment in our communities • No to allowing Over-seer Darren Wilson and other police around the country to get away with murdering our young men. We demand that you stand with us and say Yes: • Yes to a nation-wide system to investigate police killings of black & brown people across America • Yes to investigating law enforcement and principalities of Ferguson and its engrained systematic racism within the municipalities of the town. America and the Department of Justice, know that the Ferguson District Attorney did not even try to get an indictment of Over-seer Wilson. He in fact, put the defenses witnesses on the stand to refute the witnesses of the state. Nowhere in the country do we have the District Attorney making the case for a defendant. We demand you to get off of the sidelines an get involved. Well many want us to go away. Many want the burning of businesses to cease. Many want the looting to stop. Many want the protest to stop. Well I come by to tell this government and the Department of Justice that you have the power to make us go away. You have the power to stop the protest. You have the power to stop the outrage. All that you have to do is stand with the people. Stand on the side of right. But if you choose to continue to stand on the sidelines and do nothing, we will continue to fight. We will continue to erupt like a fiery volcano. We will continue to be in your face. You must understand that truth crushed to the earth will rise again. God will not be marked! You may have knocked us down but we will keep getting up. For we know that our power is greater than yours and soon Justice will roll down like a stream. Soon justice will shine like the sun. Soon just will be won. No Justice No Peace!
