Aimee Sands Testimonial

I was a reporter for WGBH public radio in the 1970’s, and for the WGBH TV’s The Ten O’Clock News in the 1980’s.  I covered a number of events which Chuck Turner  helped to organize, and at which he spoke.  He always struck me as an advocate who was deeply concerned about communities of color in Boston, and I thought it was a good thing for those communities and for the city as a whole when he was elected City Councilor.  Most of all, I saw that he was clearly an honest and principled man.  I do not believe he is now a corrupt politician.  His arrest raises questions for me about government entrapment, and about racial inequities in law enforcement.
