Kudo to the National Conference of Black Mayors for bringing more light to a couple of incidents that are near and dear to them.
Last month, the new Mayor of Westlake, LA (the town’s newly-elected and first black mayor was found dead from a gunshot wound in a former high school parking lot just days before he was to take office. Officials ruled the case a suicide but the family disputes this claim.
Earlier this month, the mayor of Greenwood, LA, Ernest Lampkins, had someone fire two rounds from a shotgun into his home. Fortunately, none of his family was harmed.
Both of these incidents have prompted the Conference to call for state and federal investigations into these incidents. They are not calling the incidents related but, there is a concern because of the circumstances around the two incidents and the fact that they both occurred in Louisiana.
We need to keep our eyes on this one.
