Out of Prison, Rev. Pinkney Resumes Protests
04 Jul 2017
🖨️ Print Article

“They knew that if they got an all-white jury, I had a 99.9 percent chance of being convicted, even without any evidence,” said Rev. Edward Pinkney, the Benton Harbor, Michigan, community leader who served 30 months of a possible ten-year sentence for allegedly tampering with election documents. Pinkney now faces a year on parole, but he plans to hold a protest at the Berrien County courthouse on July 11 “to let them know I’m back,” and will picket the Whirlpool Corporation, which has long dominated the politics of his mostly Black home town.
