given more money to historical black colleges than any

supported the Jena 6 and one that threatened to bring Civil
Rights lawsuits against the local Prosecutor if he continued to
bring charges against the six black students in the case.
10.

fight for social security reform so that African Americans
who are known to die pre-maturely before ever collecting Social
Security would be able to have complete control over their
money rather than the government controlling it and spending it.
11.
They no longer want a President that would
push for vouchers and chartered schools so that African
American parents from the inner-city schools would have a
