IUIC (Israel United in Christ) recently held a press conference to address the ongoing pursuit of justice for Kendrick Johnson, a young man whose death in 2013 remains surrounded by controversy and unanswered questions. The press conference, held in Atlanta, GA, focused on the organization’s commitment to supporting the Johnson family’s quest for truth. Kendrick’s body was initially found in a rolled-up gym mat at his high school, and while his death was initially ruled an accident, subsequent independent investigations suggested foul play, due to blunt force trauma, his organs missing, and two hours of video footage from the high school’s security cameras being mysteriously erased.

IUIC highlighted their efforts to raise awareness and demand accountability, emphasizing the broader implications for systemic change and justice reform. The press conference also underscored the community’s continued frustration with the lack of resolution in Kendrick Johnson’s case, which has persisted for over a decade. IUIC and the Kendrick Johnson Foundation are united in their mission to keep the case in the public eye, using it as a rallying point for addressing racial injustice and pushing for reforms in the handling of death investigations. The event was part of a larger movement to ensure that Kendrick’s story is not forgotten and that his family’s relentless fight for justice inspires broader societal change.
