NC NAACP President Rev. Barber explains what people can do:

  • If you have eyewitness knowledge about what is happening, please get that information to the family’s attorney to help sort out what actually happened.
  • There is a meeting tomorrow at 3 p.m. at Bibleway Church to discuss what people can do to help.
  • Pray for the family and when a call for support is made, show up.
