(Press Release) DES MOINES – The
Brownback for President campaign today announced that the noted pro-life
activist Dr. Alveda King, who has endorsed Senator Brownback for president, will
meet with his supporters and hold a media availability this Friday, September
28.
Earlier this week, Dr. King was barred from speaking at Des Moines
Roosevelt High School because principal Kathie Danielson said that while a
discussion of civil rights was acceptable, Dr. King's planned remarks also
included references to "morals."
"Quite a bit of [King's planned speech]
does talk about civil rights, but there is a connection to morals and that's the
part... " said Danielson. (Megan Hawkins, "Roosevelt cancels speech by King,"
Des Moines Register, 9/25/07)
"Defending the life of innocents is the
most basic civil right, and I am proud to support Dr. Alveda King and her
efforts on the pro-life issue, civil rights and helping people in need," said
Senator Brownback.
As the daughter of the slain civil rights activist
Rev. A.D. King and the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Dr. Alveda King has
dedicated her life to pro-life causes and founded King for America, Inc., to
"assist people in enriching their lives spiritually, professionally mentally and
economically."
