Attorney General Eric Holder spoke at Ebenezer Baptist Church yesterday about the unrest in Ferguson, telling the audience the Justice Department will unveil a plan to end racial profiling.

"In the coming days, I will announce updated Justice Department guidance regarding profiling by federal law enforcement. This will institute rigorous new standards — and robust safeguards — to help end racial profiling, once and for all," Holder said. "This new guidance will codify our commitment to the very highest standards of fair and effective policing."

Holder also met with law enforcement officials and community leaders in Atlanta.

"As this congregation knows better than most, peaceful protest has long been a hallmark, and a legacy, of past struggles for progress," the Attorney General said. "This is what Dr. King taught us, half a century ago, in his eloquent words from the Ebenezer pulpit and in the vision he shared from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial."

Meetings with Holder will continue around the country where he will address racial issues.
