Sighs of relief at the Chauvin guilty verdict, but activists say the work on racial justice is far from over

“It’s a relief, but the celebration is premature,” Rev. Jesse Jackson told CNN. “We must break the backbone of legal lynching forever. Police killing people is getting away with legal lynching,” Jackson said. “So, we still have a lot of work to do, this is a first down, not a touchdown.”
