In wake of Floyd’s death, Longview black leaders hopeful, but see systematic racism in community | Local News

Black leaders in Longview say George Floyd’s death “unmasked” many issues that black Americans, including those living here, face every day.

They pointed to inadequate job and educational opportunities in the black community, a lack of white community leaders stepping up to the plate and a division that keeps the city from truly being “One Longview” as examples of the systemic racism they say exists here.
