SALEM - The Salem-Keizer NAACP has called on Kari Zohner, a candidate for Salem-Keizer School Board, to end her campaign after she criticized Oregon State University for posting a photo of George Floyd earlier this week.
The university posted a photo of Floyd Tuesday on its Facebook page after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of Floyd’s murder. Floyd’s murder sparked nationwide protests against racism and police bruality last year, including in Salem.
