I want to thank the Sacramento Congress of African Peoples for allowing me the privilege of being with them on their 2nd annual forum. Faye Kennedy and all of her able counterparts were great hosts and I had a chance to speak, answer questions and meet with several prominent leaders in the black community.
I witnessed first hand the desire that this group had to be a political force to be reckoned with. Most of their conversation was centered on the plight of their constituencies and their young people and the family values that they share with other Americans. We discussed a more cooperative future with parents and board members being more responsive to the community’s concerns.
They allowed presentations from the Democratic, Republican and Peace and Freedom candidates or their surrogates for office. Since I am running in a non-partisan race, they saved my speech near the end and I stuck around for a few questions before lunch. I hope to continue to attend more of these events in the near future.
