ANNAPOLIS, Md. - After leading a freedom bus ride from Annapolis to Ocean City in July, Reverend Carl Snowden who convenes the Caucus of African-American leaders say the fight for justice is not over following the controversial boardwalk vaping arrests.
"There's going to be a rejuvenated civil rights movement on Maryland's Eastern Shore," Snowden said.
The group says they're forming a public safety committee, monitoring cases taken on by State's Attorney's across Maryland.
This Thursday, they'll stand along roadways on the way to the beach urging people to reconsider their Labor Day weekend vacation in Ocean City.
Pocomoke City Reverend James Jones made the two hour trek to be at the press conference. He took his calls a step further.
"I encourage everyone no matter the pigmentation of their skin, I encourage everyone to make a statement against what has happened and not visit Ocean City because if my black dollar is no good, no money is any good," Jones said.
The group is also coming back to Ocean City on October 12th, when a trial related to the arrests will get underway.
Caucus officials say they are also planning to file a formal complaint with the FBI and Department of Justice in efforts to launch a federal independent investigation.
A spokeswoman for the town of Ocean City is having internal meetings regarding the June boardwalk incidences.
The mayor was unable to comment at the time of publication.
