Democrats focused on racial justice, policing and Black Lives Matter on the opening night of its national convention.
1 / 2The first night of the Democratic National Convention featured a series of voter testimonials and speeches as well as a reserved conversation that centered on racial justice.
In the moments before the conversation, Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington, D.C., stood on a balcony overlooking the capital city area previously known as Lafayette Square but renamed Black Lives Matter Plaza by her administration when federal law enforcement clashed with and removed protesters from the square to make way for a Trump photo opportunity at a nearby church this summer.
Story continuesBloomberg’s candidacy ran aground, in part, because of his earlier vociferous support for"stop and frisk" while mayor. A federal court ruled that police stopped Black and Latino residents in a discriminatory and grossly disproportionate way. Bloomberg disavowed the policy when he launched his presidential campaign.
