CLEVELAND On Wednesday May 5, WKYC Studios’ Leon Bibb was honored with The Alan R. Schonberg Community Rescuer Award, which recognizes “unsung” heroes in our community who do good. The event was presented by Values-in-Action Foundation, an organization empowering individuals to build communities of kindness. The award was given to Bibb by his former co-worker Obie Shelton, who worked with Bibb at WKYC Studios in the late 80s.
“Everyone is quite familiar with how Leon uses words to not only define and communicate our reality, but his kindness comes through and people get that and they understand it,” Shelton said during his introduction of Bibb. “It’s only fitting that kindness kind of began and launched him into being the Leon that we understand.”
Chauvin trial isn’t a bellwether for the state of justice in US

President Joe Biden, along with countless of his fellow citizens and world leaders, hailed the guilty verdicts in the Derek Chauvin case: “This can be a giant step forward in the march toward justice in America,” he said.
To be sure, an acquittal in the case would have been a travesty of justice. But in general, it is a mistake to see individual prosecutions as bellwethers of the state of justice in the country. It freights them with pressure they are not equipped to bear. The Chauvin conviction may be a catalyst for change in policing, but it shouldn’t be read as a fundamental turning point.
