“We all must have the moral courage to call this weekend’s events in Charlottesville what they are: overt displays of racist, white supremacist ideology.”
NEW YORK — Family Equality Council CEO Rev. Stan J. Sloan issued the following statement in response to events in Charlottesville, VA:
“We all must have the moral courage to call this weekend’s events in Charlottesville what they are: overt displays of racist, white supremacist ideology that target people of color and other minorities with hate, bigotry and violence. We call on our communities, friends, and family to redouble our efforts to build an America in which white supremacy has no place, and we call on our political leaders to make clear whether they intend to lead us in this effort.”
