CLEVELAND, Ohio- The Cleveland Chapter NAACP will host a testimony forum on excessive force by Cleveland and greater Cleveland police on Thursday, September 9, 2013 beginning at 5:30 pm at the Cuyahoga County Housing Authority at 8120 Kinsman Avenue in Cleveland, according to a press release from Cleveland NAACP Executive Director Sheila Wright. A U.S. Department of Justice representative will serve as the stenographer to record the data, Wright said. Among those testifying is Community Activist Kathy Wray Coleman, who says she has been silenced on judicial and police harassment by harassment by some police, judges, elected officials and some longtime operatives of the NAACP. For more information contact the Cleveland NAACP at 216-231-6260.
"I look forward to testifying about my experiences and we urge other to do so too," said Coleman. "We pray that we will not be harassed by police and Black or other elected officials or NAACP leaders that might want to silence excessive police force or any other police misconduct to the detriment of the Black community and others."
