Being Black is not a crime. On July 26, 2013 Larry Jackson attempted to cash a check when he was racially profiled by two bank employees who were later identified as being Maggie Burke of Benchmark: [email protected] and Sheila Bostick of Benchmark Bank: [email protected] Larry Jackson later lost his life when he was shot and killed by Detective Charles "Trey" Kleinert who is awaiting trial. Join us on the anniversary of Jackson's murder to picket Benchmark Bank's discriminatory practices.
