Rev. Delman L. Coates Ph.D., Campaign Organizer
WHAT:
On Tuesday the Enough Is Enough Campaign will rally outside the OYA Restaurant where Black Entertainment Television Networks is holding a reception for the Congressional Black Caucus.

Last Saturday noted activist Dick Gregory joined the campaign that endorses corporate responsibility in entertainment.
