Beatty Statement on Funeral and Memorial Services for Michael Brown

COLUMBUS, OH – Today, U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) released the following statement on the funeral and memorial services for Michael Brown:

"As we honor the life of Michael Brown, we must also pause to consider the state of our criminal justice system that too often fails people of color.  As our nation's Declaration of Independence established as a self-evident truth: all men are created equal.  I stand committed to working with my colleagues in Congress, law enforcement, and members of our community to find solutions to create a more just and tolerant society."
