“This moment is a moment of hurt. This moment is a moment of pain.'
“This moment is a moment of hurt. This moment is a moment of pain,” said April Ryan, CNN political analyst and White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks, in a conversation with Karen Boykin-Towns, vice chairman of NAACP national board. The discussion took place Thursday afternoon on Instagram Live, in an hour-long program titled “Voices of Change,” sponsored by Lafayette 148.
“For those who don’t live it and breathe it and experience it on a daily basis, it’s a thought that it’s all what just happened. What we need are different platforms, such as this, where different people can talk amongst each other, because we know we are a highly segregated community. We generally live amongst people like ourselves, we go to churches that are generally like ourselves, and our kids are generally in schools with people like ourselves.
“There are certain clothing designers we can not go to because they’re not meant for us,” added Ryan.
