Mitt Romney joins thousands of evangelicals marching against racial injustice in DC

From the article:

WASHINGTON (RNS) — Utah Senator and former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney joined demonstrators against racial injustice on Sunday (June 7) in a march to the U.S. Capitol that was organized by evangelical Christian activists, telling reporters he was attending the demonstration to help “end brutality” before adding, “Black lives matter.”
Romney, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who has spoken often of his faith, also tweeted out a picture of himself at the "Faith Works" march below the caption "Black Lives Matter."

The day before, Romney had tweeted an image of his father, George W. Romney, then-governor of Michigan, participating in a civil rights march in the 1960s.
