This interview is a continuation on our award-winning series on racial justice matters in Huntsville, 'The Hard Part.'
In June 2020, District 4 Huntsville City Council Member Bill Kling tasked the Huntsville Police Citizens Advisory Council with hearing from the public about the events that transpired at protests for racial justice in Downtown Huntsville. Kling says while the CAC took their time to thoroughly review the submitted evidence, he got in contact with local residents to hear their thoughts on resolutions to rebuild public trust between citizens and local law enforcement. After months of anticipation, on Thursday, April 22, 2021, the CAC will present their findings to the public. Following that, Kling will make his own presentation, based on his community conversations; in this interview, we hear about what ideas made it into the final proposal.
