Martin Manna, president/CEO of the Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce, and Ken L. Harris, president/CEO of the National Business League, released a joint statement Friday.
The joint statement, also posted on the Chaldean American Chamber’s website, follows heated exchanges between the Chaldean and African-American communities in recent weeks after Facebook posts by Michigan Senate staffer LaMar Lemmons, a former member of the state House of Representatives, and Detroit Charter Commissioner Joanna Underwood. Lemmons currently serves as chief of staff for state Sen. Betty Jean Alexander, D-Detroit.
