Title
Inland Empire Concerned African American Churches
Description
On February 21, 2000 the Inland Empire Concerned African American Churches (IECAAC) marched in the rain with the NAACP and over 750 protestors to protest San Bernardino Sheriff Department’s decision to hire one of the officers involved in the shooting death of teenager Tyisha Miller in Riverside, CA. The faith community was galvanized by the Sheriff’s department decision to hire Paul Bugar despite the fact that he had been fired from the Riverside Department and was under investigation by the US Justice Department for civil rights violations.
