Gray Davis (former California governor) was the first speaker at the War on Poverty Conference at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. It was a jam-packed day, with numerous speakers from various agencies . Also speaking was Connie Rice, cousin of Condoleeza Rice. Connie, however, is on the other side of the fence, politically speaking, than Condoleeza. She is very liberal & democrat; and she is very feisty, albeit she acknolwedges she had to stop fighting so much (in court) and begin to work with the then-corrupt LAPD in order to make some progress with them. She made some good points albeit I think there may be some anger towards the male species in her, and maybe some other issues that she needs to work thru, including speaking a bit TOO long ...the MC Carl Morehouse eventually had to remind her it was time to wrap things up, but then she went on for another 15 or more minutes, knocking everybody off schedule. There's way too many names and organizations to mention in this small box, but I will try to link to their program later.
