Hello, my name is Martina Moore-Reid. I represent NC Association of the Deaf.
We have a message to share.
We recognize that our society has a system that is built against minorities. With what has been happening in our county, we do not support violence and hatred.
We are heartbroken over the situation in regards to George Floyd. We are saddened for his family as well.
Every hate crime, pain and deaths directed to individuals before George Floyd was wrong.
Also, we do not tolerate racism - inappropriate behavior and inappropriate thinking. We ask each one of you to look inwards and think about how we can seek betterment in our community.
Someday you will work with a group of people who will look to you. We must unify - that is your and our duty.
We ask that you show respect and compassion.
We thank the protesters for seeking equality and justice.
Thank you.
