Leaders in the Black community are breathing a sigh of relief because of the Derek Chauvin verdict.
But they said the work is just beginning.
Like many people, Reverend Harriett Walden was on pins and needles until the Chauvin verdict was announced on Tuesday.
“Yeah it was a sigh of relief,” Walden said.
Rev. Walden founded Mothers for Police Accountability more than three decades ago.
“30 years after Rodney King and the first camera, this camera, this recording that the young girl did brought about a conviction. Otherwise it would have been just another story,” Walden said.
