Civil rights attorney Ben Crump has joined the family of two young Black girls in a call for action after videos appear to show the children getting snubbed by a costumed character.
The group discussed the incident outside Jay-Z's Roc Nation Social Justice Summit in Manhattan on Saturday and delivered a call to action for those outraged by the incident.
"That character may have ignored them, but we will never ignore our Black children. They have every right to be given the full consideration and respect of any other child," Crump said. The Congressional Black Caucus is now requesting a meeting with Valeriano to discuss the changes, plans of action and the training the park plans to implement.
