We are disheartened to have seen video and learned that a member of the Boston running community was stopped while running because he is Black. The B.A.A. firmly believes everyone should be able to advance their wellbeing and run without fear of discrimination of any kind.
This was an extremely disturbing video to watch. It was unacceptable in so many ways: violating someone’s rights just because of the color of their skin, is always unacceptable. Also unacceptable is the fact that ICE hasn’t confirmed or denied that these were their agents.
