November 25, 2015
Tony Wafford of I Choose Life Health and Wellness Center and Attorney Dermot Givens hosted the first of a series of community meetings to discuss the repeal of anti-affirmative action law, Proposition 209. Dr. Maulana Karenga provided the group a detailed history of Affirmative Action and made the case of why it is important for African-Americans to receive equity in employment, contracts and university admissions. He gave an analysis of how and why Prop. 209 should be repealed. Attendees represented the diaspora of the African-American community. The forum was held at Dulan’s on Crenshaw where a full breakfast was served.
