City Councilman Williams sits during Pledge to protest injustice
City Councilman Jumaane Williams declined to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance at Tuesday's Council meeting.
Hasnain says:
"This type of non-violent protest is not disrespectful as some have suggested. He deserves support, not criticism for his actions," he said. "What does it say about our country when there is a national outrage over an athlete sitting out the national anthem, but the same outrage isn't expressed when a young Black man is killed for no reason?"
