…at that same location, on this past Fourth of July weekend, the city mourns the murder of 8-year-old Secoriea Turner, who was shot and killed.
Lance-Bottoms made headlines for her tough stance after the shooting. She said at a press conference that “enough is enough.”
“We have talked about this movement that’s happening across America and this moment in time when we have the ears and the interests of people across this country and across this globe who are saying they want to see change.
“But the difference in this moment in time with the civil rights movement — in the civil rights movement, there was a defined, common enemy,” she said. “We’re fighting the enemy within when we are shooting each other up on our streets.”
Prayers up for her and the family.
