It's interesting to me that this thread rarely gets any comments because this whole concept is quite remarkable. For one thing, it shows a blatant desperation on the part of LC leaders to publicize this campaign in the way that they are. Secondly, this kind of focus on race--on paper, at least--would never have been acceptable in earlier days. A specific work to outreach to African-Americans? If the LCs were
actually "general" or "inclusive," this would never be an issue.
