Representative Johnson talked about the state of civil rights today and the challenges for the 21st century. The Congressional Black Caucus held a forum and town meeting on June 19 on how the Bush Administration has retreated from protecting the civil rights of all Americans. Issues discussed included the workings of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division (Voting Rights/Redistricting Issues), education disparities, civil liberties after September 11, immigration, environmental justice and the overall economic situation in the minority community. Telephone lines were opened for audience comments. close
