BIDEN’S CONVENTION EMBRACED RACIAL JUSTICE. BLM LEADERS SAW IT AS MOSTLY LIP SERVICE. The embrace of the movement against racial injustice was a dramatic shift from the party’s last convention four years ago and did not go unnoticed by Black Lives Matter activists. But its leaders viewed the gestures as mostly lip service, without a real commitment to policy change: They want Biden to commit to defund the police and to crack down on misconduct by law enforcement.
