ANNIVERSARY OF THE 1964 CIVIL
RIGHTS ACT, THIS NEW MOVEMENT
I AM SO EXCITED ABOUTS THAT
LAUNCHED IN THE CITY OF
ATLANTA, THE HEART OF THE CIVIL
RIGHTS MOVEMENT AND IT IS
CALLED THE MILLENNIAL CIVIL
RIGHTS CAMPAIGN WORKING TO
DRIVE CHANGE LOCALLY AND
NATIONALLY IN THE AREAS OF
RACE, GUN VIOLENCE,
INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND FINANCIAL
INSECURITY.
INSECURITY. THERE ARE TWO GOALS THEY ARE
FOCUSING ON, JUSTICE BY
