Did you hear about this? Clinton-based organization, Citizen’s for Change, Inc., organized a rally of more than 500 people and protested peacefully in front of BET CEO Debra Lee’s home on September 15th. The organization will continue to do so every weekend until Lee agrees to address the group’s concerns, which include goals to combat negative African American images in the media. I happened to see some coverage of one of the rallies on the local news last night.
