Cincinnati blacks launch boycott of white owned shops
A new Cincinnati civil rights group, the Black United Front, urges a citywide boycott of white owned shops and restaurants from today through January 7 to protest police brutality. The group cites 13 black deaths in police confrontations since 1995, including two this month, as lawmakers call for a grand jury probe into Roger Owensby Jr’s death. Police, city officials, and Owensby family members urge restraint while promising investigation and reform.
