Guest Spot: A milestone for our nation as we stride toward equity

We the members of the African American Educational and Cultural Festival Inc. cannot help but believe that the jury finding Police Officer Chauvin guilty of all three charges — two charges of murder and one count of manslaughter — is a milestone for our nation. No, we have not gotten there yet but we are making strides toward equity. Of course, sentencing is still to come. 
I have written before that America has been lost in the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream. African Americans have looked from the plateaus in their ascent to the mountaintop but saw only the mist and fog of hypocrisy. Generation after generation, protest after protest has massaged and mitigated forward momentum in the “Race against Racism.”
