"Racism is still around, it's still around us, and it shows itself differently, it unveils itself in different ways, but it's still around us," state Sen. Mamie Locke, D-Hampton, said at NAACP vigil. "How we are going to react needs to be different as well. We can't allow young black men to become targets and we can't allow ourselves to sit here. ... We must consistently have the dialogue to find ways to make our community better, to have conversations with our law enforcement, with our prosecutors, with our judges to talk about ways we can communicate better."
