Moral Monday protests will focus on HB2
RALEIGH (WTVD) — Speaking about North Carolina’s HB2, state NAACP President William Barber likened it to old Jim Crow-era laws that discriminated against African Americans.
“We call on the media and other North Carolinians don’t be bamboozled,” Barner said. “Don’t be hoodwinked. These bills are being filed all over the state and the country, Indiana, Mississippi, all because it’s about power politics – using sex and homophobia and racism to stir the vote.”
Barber said when Moral Monday protests resume at the General Assembly next week, the new law – which they’ve dubbed “Hate Bill 2” will be the focus. Meanwhile, supporters of HB2 plan their own demonstration at noon on Monday.
