The American Legion of Ohio said Thursday it is investigating a Memorial Day incident in which a keynote speaker's microphone was turned off during part of his speech that touched on Black people's historical role in creating the national holiday.
Retired Army Lt. Col. Barnard Kemter was speaking at the ceremony held by a local chapter in Hudson, Ohio, when his microphone was lowered for nearly two minutes during a portion of his 11-minute speech, according to a news release. Video of the event from public access channel Hudson Community Television shows the microphone cutting out, Kemter tapping the microphone and then asking someone to address the sound problem. Kemter can be seen continuing on with his speech without the microphone.More Related News
