Within 24 hours, the letter had over 1,000 signatures from more than 800 law students, 39 student organizations, 30 faculty and staff members and nine full professors.
The letter, released by the Harvard Black Law Students Association, specifically protests the decision to not indict the police officers for the deaths of two unarmed black men. It asks President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder to begin requiring police to use body-worn cameras and to prosecute police officers who violate the “constitutional rights of black men and women.”
The letter states that the current justice system is “willfully blind to the injustices and inequalities that persist along racial and economic lines in this country.”
The letter also invites Obama and Holder to Harvard Law School to continue the discussion and to “restore our faith in American justice.”
