Richard D. Kingsberry Lieutenant Colonel, United States Army, Retired National Commander P. O. Box 11432 Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53211 www.nabvets.org 8 June 2020 The National Association for Black Veterans, Inc. does not condone the practice of discrimination and racism. The recent horrendous death of Mr. George Floyd by law enforcement has brightened the spot light on current and past practices of miss treatment of Black Citizens by law enforcement and the judicial system. Communication and dialogue about America making a change must move into the realm of actions and deeds. The young Americans advancing the cause today, stand on the shoulders of those that gave some but more importantly, some that gave all. Since our inception in July 1969, NABVETS, Inc. has been on the fore front fighting discrimination and racism on behalf of Black Military Veterans. We fight as soldiers leading the charge in representing Black Veterans and all Veterans in obtaining their rightful benefits and services. This long-standing effort coincides with the movement of “Black Lives Matter.” Today, the movement is heightened by law enforcement officers using deadly force against our brothers and sisters of African descent and a judicial system not holding those law enforcement officers, when charged for violating the rights of our brothers and sisters, accountable for their actions. This disproportionate and inappropriate treatment of Black Citizens has endured for four hundred and one years. From our ancestors forced separation from our mother land to this country, as a people, we have endured the most disrespectful, the most dangerous, the most despicable treatment, and the deadliest treatment of any race. Protesting, marching, demonstrating, organizing, and voting are democratic tools we must continue to use and support those exercising their right to do so. Respectfully, Richard D. Kingsberry Richard D. Kingsberry NABVETS, NATIONAL COMMANDER “If not us, then who? If not now, then when?" - Representative John Lewis Continue practicing social distancing, washing your hands frequently, and staying at home. |
