'The times that we are living in continue to unveil the bold and dark side of racism through the lens of ready cameras of witnesses that record the injustices that are reported daily,' said Antonio F. Knox Sr., the Grand Basileus of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, before calling Nelson is a 'remarkable example of resilient courage in the fake of undeserved fire.'
'I thank God for his sense of presence and calm because the encounter with police officers could have been very different.'
The Grand Basileus then goes on to quote Martin Luther King before issuing a rallying call for the members of Omega Psi Phi.
Knox continued: 'Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said, “Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.”'
'Brothers, I say to you fifty-five years later that now is the Time! This was very clearly racial injustice but maybe this case will be the catalyst to create the positive change that we seek. When people of all diversities, ethnicities and cultures stand to speak out, the world takes notice.'
