Black Lives Matter Tie Costs A. Edmond His Job – blackmattersus.com (blog)

Every share makes Black Voice louder!
Alton Edmon took to social media to claim that the firing was due to his choice to wear a Black Lives Matter tie to the Brevard County publicdefenders office.
It is accurate to say he was fired. But it was an accumulation of things the tie had no significance in his firing,his boss tried to explain. People can talk about politics, of course. But theres a big difference about talking politics and wearing politics on your tie.
This was my way of representing a struggle. Its very personal to me,Edmond claimed in return.
Its upsetting to know that even people supposed to protect the law tend to misunderstand the basic ideas of the movement. A real public defense attorney should be proud to have an assistant wearing a Black Lives Matter tie as a symbol of promoting justice.
