In two weeks, Thursday October 25, @ 10:00 am, we will be at 12 Mercer Street in Natick for the commutation hearing. This audience will include elected officials from the state house and city hall, several clergy, university professors, people of various communities, and lots of family members and friends.
State Rep Gloria Fox and Harvard Law Professor Charles Ogletree lead this effort to break the chains, which surround the ankles of Arnie King. Will you be there? Reverend Ray Hammond of Bethel AME Church will be present, Dr. Sven Bursell, and a host of other Metro Boston professors will provide testimony. The staff of What’s Up Magazine, the City School, and Project Hip Hop will be heard. People will be traveling from up and down the east coast and beyond to be there too.
Over 130 folks attended the 2004 hearing and we’re hoping for a larger turnout in two weeks. So if you can attend, and maybe bring a friend or two, we will appreciate joining our arms together that morning, or send a prayer with a kind thought for positive results.
Please let us know as soon as possible one way or the other if you will attend.
Thank you for your ongoing support!
Regards,
The Arnold King Commutation of Sentence Working Group
