Country dont stop. And then in an unprecedented move donald trump takes the streets to survey the damage in the church during the protests. Broke in and were disgusted and cannot normalize this pain and the Entertainment Industry calls for a blackout to honor george florey. Well its been an unprecedented night in the United States as protests continue for a 7th day over the killing of an unarmed black man there were chaotic scenes outside the white house as police cleared protesters using tear gas and flash bang stun grenades at that exact moment in the white house garden as President Trump threatened to deploy the military nationwide unless state governors get these sometimes demonstrations under control. We cannot allow the righteous cries of Peaceful Protesters to be drowned out by an angry mob the biggest victims of the rioting are peace loving citizens in our poorest communities and as their president i will fight to keep them safe i will fight to protect you i am youre president of law and order and an ally of all Peaceful Protesters but in recent days our nation has been gripped by professional anarchists violent mobs arsonists looters criminals rioters and tiefer and others and then surrounded by the secret service the president took the very unusual step of walking out to the front gate to the white house making his way to a nearby church that been damaged in sundays protests well shabba tons he joins us live now from the streets of washington d. C. And shihab the optics were remarkable werent they i mean just as the president was speaking in the rose garden we saw that until riot police launched tear gas stun grenades to effectively clear a path for the president and you a court topping all of that when you tell us what happened. Right in the now we know why suddenly the police moved without any warning without stun grenades with rubber bullets with tear gas. On protest as you had been there a couple of hours a few hours this is actually before the curfew was was due to begin right there the cuff you began at 7 pm this is around 630. 00 local time suddenly we were being attacked which one australian camera crew and i was seeing the footage on the line at least of them being attacked by the police as well that they were by and large however the police have been sorting that all around us as we show our badges at least they seem to have understood peace in our case not to attack us. Through wasnt so lucky but they were talking everyone basically on their part as they were moving forward trying to clear a space in front of St Johns Church and now we have more of an understanding of perhaps why donald trump decided to to do that to clear to clear the area and to go to St Johns Church various reports now from the White House Press corps that he was very unhappy about reports that he had been moved to the bunker of the white house during the protests over the weekend and so he clearly he wanted to have some sort of show force and he walked over to St Johns Church as you mentioned what was fascinating the yes it was a photo opportunity a photo opportunity that didnt seem to take into account that were in the age of video so all he did when he got there he didnt say anything he just brandished brandished a bible and then asked members of his cabinet to join him the defense secretary the attorney general and others and then walked off it was about all could to be onerous. Obscene the age of just you know silent newsreel and photographs that might even more of effective as a photo op but but we could just see him do it and he didnt want him to say it was a bit uncomfortable and then he walked back to the white house. Fascinatingly there now were getting criticism from all sorts of areas the the Bishop Mariann body whos church that is has a statement i dont want President Trump speaking for some drawings he said im outraged im the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of washington and was not given any even a Courtesy Call that they would be clear. And with tear gas so they could use one of our churches as a prop holding a bible one that declares that god is love and when everything he has said and done is to inflame violence we hold the teachings of our sacred text to be so grounding to our lives and everything we do and it is about love of neighbor and sacrificial love and justice she said not happy the mayor of d. C. Also not happy tweeting i imposed a curfew at 7 pm a full 25 minutes before the curfew and without provocation federal police used munitions on Peaceful Protesters in front of the white house and that will make the job of d. C. Police Department Officers more difficult shameful d. C. Residents go home be safe that of course has opened up the. To some criticism there because her curfew that gives very early curfew that gave gave the police in some ways an opportunity to acknowledge this was actually before the curfew half an hour before since then they have successfully cleared the area now of protesters its very quiet here we did want to stay here there for because a lot of the focus on the speech of course is all trying constantly threatening to bring the military on to the streets here in d. C. The military already on the streets these are what personnel carriers contain members of the u. S. Army you can see it on their uniforms with national guards. Or to vests over that but the army is on the streets of d. C. Hasnt as far as we understood donald trump invoked the insurrection act which he has to do in order to bring the army on the streets otherwise its a violation of the posse comitatus act which means that the military cant be used against us but having said that d. C. Is always in that gray area because we dont have a governor where always almost at the mercy of whatever congress or the president says i suppose maybe thats just fallen through the cracks and the military is on the streets of washington d. C. And he still threatening to bring more military into the streets of other states if as he says theyre the governors of various states to stay being weak as dont trouble you know calling them weak and says that they need to dominate more but it but its an interesting constitutional question at least here in d. C. As we see the military in full force around here. All right. In washington d. C. Well leave it there for the time being thank you very much well lets hear from one of those protesters at the white house now who spoke to shihab before the police fired tear gas at the crowd people need to come out here and like give positive energy give off positive positive positive a push in the right direction against like how do i say this against on. Against well the fact that everyone matters everybody has a place in this world. As you can see the energy is had. I want i want a president trying to make better decisions for everybody on his way on this planet matters everybody on this planet has a place everybody has everybody has power and we need to unite so lets head to head over now to john hendren who joins us live from minneapolis where this all began so john you were there at the scene just show us whats going on behind you that just set the scene for us. There and it was 7 days ago that george floyd lay on that sidewalk there we know from a 2nd autopsy that at least according to that autopsy those 3 officers were directly responsible for his death but his fixation that contradicts a report from the official Coroners Office if you look over here you see just that large mass of people thats where people have been chanting say his name george floyd thats where the speakers go hard to see from this angle and if you look up a little bit you can see a man standing up there on that bus stop its been. Kind of a rock thats not organized in any sense so over here is where the food is cooked its all given out for free you can donate to some of them if you like and then over here a little earlier we saw a weapons demonstration by a guy whos trying to get people to register for concealed carry weapons and down that street just a short while ago we saw the police come in and we are told that they have surrounded the area its just over the bus in the distance there so we dont know if theyre going to come crashing in at 10 oclock they have done it here before although this is generally considered sacred get ground so they havent been coming here in the day but id like to introduce you to a couple of people its maurice and our lucia who are neighbors here moved here about a year ago from houston which interestingly is where george floyd is from so what brings you here to this memorial today. Our responsibility. Both of our peers all of appearance or were born without rights to vote. Civil rights movement. My grandparents are. Military. Do not have the civil rights and Civil Liberties and. I think its just our responsibility to be here for me where i know not only everything. Biting or just any quality but here. Were here in 15 boy and a girl you worry about him i worry a lot. Theyre young adults. Theyre trying to. Be productive in their every day my. Law abiding didnt think that. Unfortunately. When eve cant change your complection or youre in the city. You dont always get an hour to 40 and it could be over something as simple as going to get back the love of bread from the store that great lighthouse that you didnt realize without any everything goes wrong. Or myself i have ancestors. From both sides that were slave masters and ancestors that were slaves so i been taught a history of both. From my mother and my father. And. I have mixed family and it saddens me it saddens me. Tremendously bad we can continue to go through this day after day week after week literally. Along with year after year it is important to note having your professionals write it. Is it really true for people all across the world who dont understand this is really true that for an africanamerican this could happen to anyone this this town is the only thing different from what the world seeing now is the advantage of technology right. We deal with this on a daily or weekly basis that the media get it right that know about yet it is just a convenience of technology the name that day everybody screams out not only george cloyd the santa bland to me or right. Brianna taylor all those names is just the convenience of you go phone call or the convenience of technology but when technology isnt available we dont you have the defense to say i was innocent or i was doing the wrong is there any reason to believe its. Getting any better these events keep happening and im glad you accept and thats one of the other reason why im here. And i try to use the platforms that im on social media to so not only you know help support the community and it is about george it is about all the other names of black people have been that have been killed by the hands of police. But its also a need for change for systematic justice tune and. Just that the system itself needs to be changed you know when i stand my grandparents. In the military our parents my our parents didnt have the right to vote. The constitution wasnt written for us. The laws were written for us so so when when we say that if this is a true struggle its not broken but isnt it was never written for us in mind so those things have to change and we have to change the system in order to make it very unjust where everybody proud of the names of all of these young black men who have been killed by police there doesnt seem like maybe weve gone backwards in recent years. I dont think weve gone backwards through this thing to saying you know it. Again its its its no different its. Just the convenience of technology its not that videotape that we saw right that you know as the old him goes we shall overcome someday we we feel have yes right you know over right we dont need disparities that no one sees i know i have even a fair complected and i am i have. Yeah its you know my hair is curly here but mostly so its part of me away. And you moved here from houston in the south and i think most people from out of the country a lot of our viewers. Thats where really the worst of the problems are as you move up here to the very north of the United States to minneapolis where you were all surprised that this happened here i can say honestly we were extremely surprised i was taking a year even before before this incident having a memorial day. Its just a different environment here. They call the minnesota nice but it is not nice to us. We see the different treatments inside. We see different treatment that we havent stopped the stores and it made me start doing a Little Research about where we moved to. Apologize to my wife and my family even as recently as this week because i didnt know what we were coming into to realize that we were on sacred land of dakota indians i didnt know that i was clueless to somebody history of minnesota and what even the native. People of this land to knew that i never knew those things so yes it took me to be about a minute not a nice. If parts we were trying to figure that out very close to that happening we just had a conversation really like a lot of things are stand. Rather on the professional by origin of the real community. And im not saying that. All people are the same however the majority may want straight out and tell you were minnesota nice but we found out that we believe that men and not denying. It how are you. Im so glad that youre here but they will never invite you to their functions they will never in my you its at their home they stay alive but its not the right. That the thought process in america is the south is is. Racist due to slavery due to confederacy and things that nature but. Looking deeper into the history you really understand that. Racism in this segregation mentality is this foreign or this world we would have never im really shocked really when you see it goes it was before george floors when we start recognizing these things to be honest. We were. So minnesota nice is not really that not. Not not from everybody standpoint. You know we have them support yes eventually happen but you have i know personally that they work right alongside me. But now they kept and others reached out they jump on the bandwagon what can i. Do are you but they got down south and were used to speaking to any and everybody yeah. Thats one aspect you know thats one aspect i really really take for take home that when you speak to someone here they just look at you like they are going to need a home at the minnesota nice like they dont need right i wish we had more time it gets its been fascinating to. Share who moved here from houston and they founded the minnesota nice that they were hoping was going to be here. In minneapolis john thank you well for it is in new york imposed a curfew on the city after a large protest on sunday turned violent lets bring in he joins us live from there again. Weve been talking to you throughout most of the afternoon and evening just tell us where you are now and whats happening there. Yes weve moved were now in downtown brooklyn right in support of the Barclays Center a big sporting arena here. It is a little under 45 minutes until the curfew kicks into place here in new york city it is a scene of quite a few people here and what is going on behind me is a candlelight vigil a very peaceful candlelight vigil some activists that are here for the curfew kicks in in the next 45 minutes to get their voices heard and i want to bring in one of them to speak to us right now i mean best a 23 year old your. Freedom actual ization music group youre organized this. Group draw a crowd i rejoined why are we doing this tonight were doing this because not only. Basically we are oppressed and we are pressing to Keep Police Officers not press their mind up poison to believe that they have heard. This in the press is all of us black white brown and everything in between we are here to free the minds of everyone so that they understand and liberated enough to take a stand for themselves so that we can all live a life thats free humanity should be able to prosper and we are all humans but we arent all together until we respect one another until we take those from underneath us and bring them up with us i mean what what is the message for the candlelight vigil that you want to get out tonight specifically. We firstly want to honor our brothers and sisters that weve lost hes been silent and we also want to take a seat and show that we are not balanced we are not here for violence we do not want to burn everything to the ground we have demands we have negotiations listen to us we want to talk to you we want to have a dialogue you see everyone out here talking to each other i talk to at least 200 people talk to us have a little conversation as ive been. Porting for the last few days 99 percent of these protests are peaceful just like this theres one percent that is doing some looting and its happening right now in manhattan as we speak a little bit what is your message to those that are not bringing your same message word to them to the people protesting and i understand your pain i understand your pain is down to not poor but thats not the way to go talk actualize organize and fight for something remember there are kids out here i saw 2 little boys out here you have to remember that you are not the only one worth going to injury is bigger than you is bigger than me is for everybody when you saw the video of george floyd getting killed in minneapolis. Seems like it still bothers you to think about it. What did you feel when you think about video when i see that. My fellow shoes will come over me. Because ive seen so many other videos like it and i know that that could have been not brother my uncle or it could have been me so i felt pain in my heart but knowing that i had to do something so that this cannot continue on Trayvon Martin was the same age as one was supposed to be supposed to be the same age as me no one should ever have to lose their lives a Police Brutality no one should ever have to go through that again. Last question i have for you and the curfew is comes into place in less than 45 minutes in new york what are your plans for tonight with you and your. Fellow protesters that are right here behind. Our encourage everybody so. Why theres another day theres another 2nd theres another minute that we can fight this will continue until things change until things change we will be out here every single day but we dont need change in november we dont need change 5 years from now we need change tomorrow he 3 needs to. Tonight change needs to happen sooner or later. Thank you very much for joining us those are very powerful words and i appreciate you speaking to us on how to sort of thank you so much and. So there you heard it thats a very articulate words there from a 23 Year Old Girl from brooklyn i meet best she i think summed it up very well by saying a message at least at this protest here a message of peace but also a message that they want justice and change and a system again were now under under 45 minutes until the curfew begins here in new york city we are hearing some reports of some looting happening at this hour in parts of new york city and manhattan right here in the heart of brooklyn so far it has been very peaceful i think everyone. Will stay by all sides by police and protesters through the rest of your promises to be a very long very well or a city or antigay bill is on the line for us there in new york so lets move now from the east coast to the west coast where theyve been a series of protests throughout the day in los angeles and talk to Lucy Sherriff the journalist whos been out amongst the protests throughout the day and shes she joins us live from Beverly Hills so youre on the streets out there just tell us where you on whats been happening that im currently in Beverly Hills which is completely quiet the copy has now been employed for a couple of hours earlier on today i was at another protest and. I had she spoke to a 21 year old. Georgian who explained to me just why he was turning out to. And one here is either had some Family Member that was affected by these from these people and turned off the crisis but its literally years of oppression theres only so much people can take that are oppressed with this Capitalistic Society all this this is what it breeds this is exactly what. People dont want this to happen again this is been happening over and over and over again so now were all here we doing exactly what they gave us. They gave us this we dont want to be out here none of these people want to be the here. We already have enough to deal with here do you have enough to deal with this pandemic so now were dealing with another one thats just been seen here from beginning of time its been sitting here to begin to know this country im lucy were talking about the curfew that just tell us what its supposed to start and what do we expect to happen later. Varies from area to area so environmentalists a curfew so its at 6 pm although that was very mixed messages earlier today with text message just listen to out from the city saying its off the 5 and then saying that 6 so the majority of protesters around 5. Or 10 included in a few of us stayed until 6 i met all took up for the most part everybody. I certainly in Beverly Hills on and but. Most people are abiding by dot curfew however i have just been told. Around 100 protesters. Who wrote the arrested for breaking the curfew and just before i left. 6 men arrested because they broke. All right to life for us in Beverly Hills lucy thank you very much indeed for the update. Now a black Business Owner has been shot and killed by police in kentucky on monday amid protests against the killing of africanamericans David Mchattie was shot when officers moved in to disperse a crowd during a curfew in Louisville Police say they were shot at 1st the police chief has now been fired and 2 officers have been put on administrative leave with folks right now giving voice to not trusting Law Enforcement one of the most important things we can do to build that trust is to make sure that we are fully transparent right now about it and if it bears out. That actions were taken wrongly i guarantee you will act and will act strongly now democratic president ial hopeful joe biden has vowed to address what he described as institutional racism if elected this november bidens been meeting with black Community Leaders in his hometown of delaware its the 2nd day in a row biden has left home to address the growing unrest and only the 3rd time hes been seen publicly since the coronavirus lockdowns began in march he said to hold of the meeting with the mayors of cities badly affected by the violence well biden discussed the protests with Community Leaders in delaware where he condemned President Trumps comments on the protesters d. You know what is your profession. How do longer. What this is all. Nobody can. Who have. Already 6 gone. Former us president barack obama has written an open letter to americans calling for them to vote if they want real change hes also urging protesters to refrain from violence he wrote i saw an elderly black woman being interviewed today in tears because the only Grocery Store in her neighborhood had been trashed if history is any guide that story may take years to come back so lets dont excuse violence or rationalize it or participate in it he added if we want to bring about real change in the choice isnt between protest and politics we have to do both well social media has captured thousands of encounters between protesters looters and police some feature white demonstrators committing violence and vandalism while ignoring pleas from black protesters to stop and thats opened a tense conversation about the role of nonblacks in this movement has more. Was a black woman tries to cry stop to a group of white looters an oakland but the chaos drowns her out this imagining a black woman who put in black and matter to nonblack protesters vandalize a cafe but the africanamericans whose lives are actually on the line fear theyll pay little. Doubt doubt dont raise them here when i go blind that people couldnt and black people didnt do it and in denver. That was reporting that black activist and School Board Director teo anderson intervened when he saw a white man defacing public property i didnt get very frustrated and. People of color are destroyed during aids in our name and we end up getting the blame for it but we didnt ask for it. Right the daytime protests organized by black civil Rights Groups have been largely peaceful across the u. S. But the nighttime rioting has involved people of all races it was whether the nonblacks our allies and our kiss or even White Supremacists as some have accused is unclear. And we do not to write our arms our own stories and part of that is yet letting us know what worries. Her great book what the divisions here are not simple protesters of various races in washington d. C. Attacked a white man after he destroyed a sidewalk then they turned him into police. And a young white woman jumped in front of a young black man near the white house blocking him from advancing police the widely shared clip showed a moment of racial solidarity even as many black americans insist they write this chapter of their own history. How did you castro aljazeera washington but time for a short break here how does iraq when we come back no longer detached observers journalists become a target for both police and protesters.

Oh. Welcome back a quick reminder the top stories here on aljazeera u. S. President donald trump has threatened to deploy the military the state governors cant contain violent protests this past week has seen nationwide demonstrations against Police Brutality most of the protesters have been peaceful life has also been widespread looting and understanding is a. Chance announcement came amid violent scenes outside the White House Police cleared Peaceful Protesters using tear gas and stun grenades. And an independent autopsy has ruled George Floyds death was not a report commissioned by floyds family shows he died of this fixation he was killed in Police Custody when an officer pinned him to the ground his name for several minutes. So lets just take you quickly to live pictures now from washington d. C. Big change them earlier on though when you saw all those protests being broken up by police a bit earlier now its all calm the police now pretty much outnumber the protesters now obviously the big drama of the evening was when President Trump gave that address the rose garden and then walked across Lafayette Park across to the senate Johns Episcopal Church out of a bible had a photo opportunity turn around and left and walked back again. All those protesters were to gassed and had stun grenades thrown at them to clear a path for the president for his photo op but things are much calmer now on the streets of washington d. C. Now President Trump has threatened to deploy the military in American Cities if states cannot quote the violence theres a law that prevents the government from using the military as a police force domestically but trump could override that by invoking whats called the insurrection act of 1807. 00 will act was lost in vote in the 1992 rodney king riots in los angeles the Congressional Research service reported in 2006 that the president must 1st issue a proclamation ordering quote insurgents to disperse and if that doesnt work he or she may issue an executive order to deploy troops back says the president doesnt necessarily have to have a states permission to send in the army to quote enforce nor or suppress rebellion lets bring in debbie hines she joins us live on skype from baltimore maryland and debbie is a lawyer and a former Baltimore City prosecutor debbie great to have you back on the program so what are the legal implications then if trump an ax the insurrection law would this still allow him to do what he wants. You know thats a very difficult situation he really does not have the right to implemented in our 50 states which is what he was saying i mean not all 50 states have anything going what and its got the governor still would have the say so with that and right now we still have a system that could still raise and go all the way through the legal system to make a decision whether its right or wrong in terms of what he does he just somehow seems that thing that he can do anything he wants to do but we still have a judicial system as well and all of the 50 governors im sure do not agree whether or not their rights in there are there whether or not these im dressed in their in their state in their cities or not and we were just making the point in the introduction that debbie that the insurrection or was last used in 1902 thats a long time ago during the rodney king riots in los angeles is there any useful precedence that applies to this situation this week. Now i mean and in the right mccain situation it was something that was determined not to sleep with wine at state that was involving one particular area in california and wesson thats certainly everywhere which is the irony of them in the statement that trump is saying that hes going to plant every we have the governors cant get their states under control then hes just going to do it but you know honestly its scary but at the same time this is the same day and the time its out of books at this map he does a lot of talking but he doesnt do anything so we have to also keep that in perspective when we hear what hes saying hes not you know im a president and we can just believe everything he says because he doesnt have the time when he say. Send the situations different in different states i mean but do states governor has. Come they actually and thats the legal redress come they push back against this absolutely and i did not read or heard or you may not have heard but the illinois governor hes already said that he would push back and then hes one of the ones that i believe was on a call with from and he already you know spoke very much out against the president with the president blew him up but he was one of the ones and spoke forcefully against them letting him know you cannot do that so i think there will be a lot of pushback but i think a lot of times were just kind of sort of waiting to see because this president just says anything and everything that went with mine at that particular time without regard to how to play out how i could be implemented what are the representations in block grant that any of the other factors that are involved so we just have to see have read happens but i dont think that the governors are going to just lay down and let him do what hes saying hes going to do you just a final thought from you on the issue of the george floyd case i mean youre a youre a former city prosecutor there in baltimore so what sort of timeline are we looking at for the legal action against David Sullivan the the former policeman who who held down george floyd until he died. Well were waiting to see the other 3 officers charged thats one thing were waiting to see. You know there now been the autopsy report im not sure when and where theyre waiting for it to try to get other officers its not clear if theyre going to bring it before a grand jury and then you know although joann has been charged with 3rd degree murder they can also raise the charges because right now the because of the distrust i believe that has been sent to the minnesota trying to Generals Office or keep dallas said who was a former congressman and a progressive leader is going to be the architect going to be handling the case and that does make people feel slightly better but in fact its going to be a long way before anything is decided were still waiting for charges to be brought or right to debbie and we have to leave it there always good to talk to debbie thank you thank here thank you well there was another incident that sparked plenty of controversy last week after it was filmed and posted to social media a woman in new yorks central park called the police saying a black man was threatening her chris cooper filmed the exchange after he asked her to follow the rules by putting a leash on her dog the woman no relation was later fired from her job. There is an africanamerican. For his record only myself and my dog. And i. Am sorry i cant hear you that i think right my best friend of. Mine. Well chris cooper sister Melody Cooper posted that video you just saw there shes written an opinion piece in the New York Times i spoke with her a short time ago about why she felt compelled to share her brothers encounter. I had posted on twitter several different videos like this that id seen. These kind of phone calls that have been made and for it to be my own brother it just struck home it struck a nerve for me and ive been fighting against this kind of systemic racism for a long time and to compose i was afraid because when i saw that i realized that my brother if it in another way police could have arrived could have thrown him on the ground and when i posted it i didnt yet know about george floyd and when i found out about george floyd i i watched that video again and i realized yes that could have been my brother and it infuriated me and it frightened me and i knew that the world needed to see this video so that we could start to really engage in a in a conversation about it and take action to change this kind of systemic racism that you know the leadership in this country has has encouraged weve seen it across the country for all of those specially over the past 4 years and i thought it was time for it to stop and for us to really address it thats an important point to make melody because of people drawing parallels between george floyd and your brother and when you see what happened to george floyd in minneapolis and many other young black men getting killed by a white policeman do you consider that actually your brother may have been very lucky to survive this this incident with his life yes and i end it when it when i i make a point of not watching the videos that are posted a black men and women being killed because i dont want that kind of pain i mentioned that in the article that i wrote but the other night by accident i have them to catch on the news part of the video of george floyd being killed and when he called out for his mama if it broke me because i have a son and they hear that from a grown man who has been killed in the next day i went out on im in. And i went out to fairfax and i joined the protest because i can use my words but ive been in protests all my life and i knew it was time for me to get out there again and and walk the streets with everyone because its it is very much as Martin Luther king jr said it is the language of the unheard that we have to go out in protests like this all right lets take you live now back to los angeles where correspondent rob reynolds is in the Hollywood Air robbie understand you have a developing situation that tell us whats happening. There were standing on sunset boulevard in hollywood there is behind me a group of people who have been handcuffed with zip ties theyre being taken into custody by Los Angeles Police get out of the way so you can get something of a better look at these people maybe 4050 people i havent dont know what theyve been charged. All right when apologies for that we were hoping to just find out what was happening there along hollywood boulevard rob reynolds if you can will try and get back to him but. In fact i think hes now hes now back not to worry lets move on shall we the american Civil Liberties movement has responded to President Trumps approach to the demonstrations saying the pro more federal troops to suppress dissent would be irresponsible and dangerous known levelheaded governor is asking for an even more miniaturized response to civilian protests against Police Brutality and systemic racism for good reason this president must not cause the country and its people even more. Well margaret burnhams a professor of law and the director of the Civil Rights Center restoration of Justice Project at Northeastern University she says there needs to be real change to stop history repeating itself.
