Nearly 60 black former US ambassadors have condemned the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and others and called for reforms to address systemic racism and police brutality in the United States
The Association of Black American Ambassadors said in a statement that"it is time for all people of conscience to voice their opposition to legally sanctioned violence; it is tarnishing America's image at home and abroad.""We all want an equitable society where each of us has the right to breathe," the ambassadors said in the statement published on"AllAfrica" Tuesday.
"Although the majority of signatories are no longer active in the foreign service, US Ambassador to Zimbabwe Brian Nichols also signed his name to the statement.Last week, in response to being summoned to meet with Zimbabwe's foreign minister, Nichols released a striking and personal statement drawing on Floyd's death to call on the Zimbabwean government to end its violence against activists and to hold those who perpetuated such crimes accountable.
