NYS Senator James Sanders Jr.’s Statement on the Guilty Verdict in the Derek Chauvin Trial

State Senator James Sanders said: “This is the first time in my lifetime that I have seen a white police officer convicted of killing a black man. I think justice has been served to a degree.

As a first time offender Police Officer Derek Chauvin may only get 12 ½ years in prison for the murder of George Floyd, and that is not nearly enough time.

He took the life of an innocent, unarmed human being. I think that today we have seen a strike against the racism that exists in our country particularly as it relates to law enforcement and black and brown people. However, we must continue to fight. The battle is not over.

This is one small victory. There will be many more victories needed before we see true change. I applaud the jurors and the prosecutors in this case for accomplishing a tough job indeed.”

BLACK-OWNED MENSWEAR COMPANY CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING OF NEW YORK CITY LOCATION

New York, New York - Celebrity menswear designer Miguel Wilson recently celebrated the grand opening of the Miguel Wilson Collection’s New York City location, on Saturday, April 16. Located at 134 Orchard St. New York, NY 10002, near the Lower Eastside of Manhattan, the New York City showroom, which is in partnership with Adrienne’s Since 1950 Bridal Boutique, is the Miguel Wilson Collection’s fourth location, which includes Atlanta, Washington D.C., and Miami.

“I’m so excited for the grand opening of my New York City location,” Wilson said. “I’ve been coming to New York City for years and I’ve always said that the streets of New York are like magic.

“My stores are not only known for a certain level of quality and service that my customers have come to expect but also for contributing to the community that they’re located in. We’ve done it in Atlanta, Washington D.C., Miami, and will continue this tradition in New York City. And while we’ve participated in New York City culture over the years, you will be hearing a lot more about the Miguel Wilson Collection now that we are officially located in this great city.”

With over 20 years of experience in fashion, Miguel Wilson built the Miguel Wilson Collection brand as the go-to formalwear selection for high-profile men.
