National clergy issue interracial call for justice
As Barbara Williams-Skinner collected signatures for a statement by leaders of African-American church groups about the Ferguson, Missouri, police shooting of Michael Brown, she found more people wanted to join in.
The general secretary of the National Council of Churches wanted to add his name, along with an Asian-American evangelical leader.
What started out as the “Joint Statement of Heads of Historic African American Church Denominations” has become an interracial cry for justice.
