Wheeler Parker, Jr., joins News NOW on what would have been his 82nd birthday to share what the new monument will represent and how it could reflect his cousin’s legacy.

Great gesture that came only after Carolyn Bryant's death. Hmm…how convenient for her that this country waited till now so as not to offend her
Give it a rest already 🙄If he knew whistling at a white woman would get him killed, why did he do it? Because he was a little ball buster. Do you think biden likes black people? Like his friend Hillary calling them super predators. Don't be naive. Wake up.
I appreciate the effort you put into your videos.
More SYMBOLISM and PANDERING for the BLACK VOTES. Putting her in PRISON would have been the RIGHT thing to do. FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICANS should NEVER vote for another DEMORAT.🤔
Read some of Hunter Biden’s emails or text messages, he sure does like to use the “N” word a lot!
This is why you don’t “believe all women.”
