...recently we have witnessed concerted efforts
aimed at turning back the hands o f progress in
numerous areas, from voting and civil rights to
workers rights and criminal justice. In addition, high
unemployment and other economic, social and legal
disparities that continue to plague African
Americans and low income and working class
Americans underscore the urgency o f our demand.
