The president of the Springfield Township Board of Commissioners resigned after a year of trying to get a local police organization to not use the so-called ‘Blue Lives Matter’ flag as its logo.
Graham also said he endured a fellow board member sending him a derogatory caricature that depicted Black people as lazy and dumb.
Last year, when Graham saw the Springfield Township Police Benevolent Association changed its logo to the ‘Blue Lives Matter’ emblem, he expressed concern because he claims it is a symbol of white supremacy. "We have a larger responsibility to act with empathy and sensitivity for all of our residents," Lee said at the meeting.
Chad Lassiter, the Executive Director for the Pennsylvania Human Rights Commission, said what Graham had to endure is troubling.
