Democratic Party Kaine on the Black Lives Matter movement

  • Addressing a gathering of the National Urban League in Baltimore, Maryland, on August 4, 2016, Tim Kaine highlighted his work fighting "redlining," a practice used by banks to deny home loans to black mortgage applicants in some neighborhoods. Kaine also said, "If English lives in history matter, if Spanish lives in history matter, then African-American lives in history ought to matter to us too. African-American history matters because black lives matter."[1]
  • In an interview following the National Urban League event, U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said that Kaine "realizes the pain. He may not be able to fully feel the pain, but he realizes there’s pain. And I don’t know that Trump even realizes there’s pain with regard to the African-American community and what we’ve been through.”[1]
