Recent graduates from W&L Law, who were joined by many members of the W&L and Lexington communities, organized a protest yesterday seeking change in our criminal justice system and equality for all. In the words of one of the organizers: “The horrific events of this week have highlighted what people of color in this country have always known – that our criminal justice system has historically disadvantaged and failed black people. We’ve been hurting and listening, angry and frustrated, looking for a way to express those feelings. We hoped that our demonstration today would remind vulnerable people in our community that we see them and voice to Lexington as a whole that black lives matter, there will be no peace until there is justice, and we cannot be silent about racial inequality and police brutality. The overwhelming turnout today from students, faculty, and community members, along with the support from our local police force, was a beautiful reminder that, though we do not all face the struggles that people of color face in this country, we are fighting together for equality for all. There is a lot of work to be done, but coming together as a community was a glimmer of hope that perhaps more people are listening to the cries for justice than ever before.” #washingtonandleelaw #washingtonandlee
