(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 18, 2009 ) New York, NY - Statement from Marc H. Morial, President and CEO, National Urban League and Nolan V. Rollins, President and CEO, Urban League of Greater New Orleans on Justice's Refusal to Marry Interracial Couple.
"In light of the erroneous statement by the Louisiana Justice Keith Bardwell, who seems to be unaware of the U.S. Constitution, we are asking the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division to conduct an immediate investigation into the civil rights violation by Justice Keith Bardwell's refusal to marry an interracial couple. This is a huge step backward in social justice and must not be tolerated."
