Black Activists Outraged By Politicization
I agree wholeheartedly with the Project 21 people...
From Project 21, Black Activists Outraged By Politicization:
"I find it shameful that not even the service to honor the stellar life of Coretta Scott King is exempt from classless political behavior from the likes of former President Jimmy Carter and Reverend Joseph Lowery," remarked Project 21 member Mark Jordan. "At an event to celebrate the achievements of one of America's greats, these two men conducted themselves in a disgraceful manner. They descended into the muck to take poorly- timed shots at the President."
"It is pathetic that these individuals choose to turn a funeral into a political statement," said Project 21 member Geoffrey Moore. "You would think they would have learned something from the late senator Paul Wellstone's memorial back in 2002 that people don't like such shameless political promotion. There is a time and place for everything, and for this behavior the funeral of Coretta Scott King was neither."
