More than 75 people gathered to worship and pray outside the Cook County Courts Building at 26th and California Monday, Sept. 24 calling for justice for Laquan McDonald as testimony continued in the murder trial against Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke.
Bishop Sally Dyck along with United Methodist clergy and laity joined the Community Renewal Society in the "Public Action in Worship". The theme was "Knocking on the Door of Justice" as the group sang "Break Every Chain" and chanted "Justice for Laquan!" Read more.
