There has been plenty of talk about whether the black community would vote for Prop 8. Yesterday the Jordan/Rustin Coalition and Equality For All/No held a news conference featuring leaders in the community who spoke eloquently about the discrimination in this ballot initiative.
The participants were:
* Rev. Eric Lee, President, Southern Christian Leadership Council of LA.
* Rev. Arthur Lawrence Cribbs, Jr. United Church of Christ
* Rev. Vanessa Mackenzie, Church of the Advent
* Willie Pelote, Assistant Director of Political Action, AFSCME Int.
* Doug Spearman, Actor from Noah's Arc and on the board of Equality California Institute and the Finance Committee of the No on Prop 8 campaign.
