Fighting back against hate crimes
Manage episode 316681867 series 2767221
The numbers are just heartbreaking. Over the last 30 years, 216,786 hate crimes were reported in the United States.
And 34% of those crimes were against African Americans. Hate crimes against Jewish Americans placed second, with nearly 13%.
Now, as 2022 gets underway, state lawmakers are looking to pass new hate crime legislation. The question is: Will it have an effect?
Those are the questions Spectrum News 13’s Ybeth Bruzual puts to Sarah Emmons, regional director for the Anti-Defamation League, and Olivia Babis, senior public policy analyst for Disability Rights Florida, on this week’s Central Florida: Beyond the Soundbite.
