WHY SHOULD YOU VOTE FOR LONDON BREEDI have been a supporter of Senator Obama since 2004 when he ran for the United States Senate in the State of Illinois. In February 2007, I attended his candidacy announcement for President of the United States in Springfield, IL with 17,000 supporters in ten degree weather! It truly was an amazing experience.
I have donated to the campaign, campaigned locally and encouraged others to support his candidacy. I have been inspired by Senator Obama's consistent message of hope centered around change in this Country. I truly believe that if Senator Obama is elected President, he will inspire Americans to play a major role in making this county a better place for all Americans.
Currently, I serve as the Executive Director of the African American Art & Culture Complex in San Francisco’s Western Addition community. I also serve as the Vice-President for the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency Commission and as a Delegate for the California State Democratic Central Committee.

Jesus's Obituary
I have received this in previous years but do not know who the original author is. As profound as it may be, let us remember why we celebrate Easter (and it is not because of Easter eggs and rabbits). Have a blessed Easter.

Holland & Knight SF celebrates Black History Month with Bob Harris
Photo Credit: Keith SawyerSAN FRANCISCO, Calif. What better way for a law firm to celebrate Black History Month, than to have one of today's most influential African American lawyers, Robert L. Harris, speak at its offices. Holland & Knight LLP's Diversity Committee hosted its inaugural Black History Month Celebration for the San Francisco legal community on February 28, 2008.
The focus of Mr. Harris's talk was centered around overcoming the legal injustices of the past, such as Dred Scott v. Sandford and Plessy v. Ferguson, by victories such as Brown v. Board of Education. Harris also discussed how the exceptionally talented Black lawyers such as Charles Hamilton Houston and Thurgood Marshall trailblazed the path for lawyers, such as himself, to continue their work towards equal justice under the law.
Finally, Harris challenged the members of the audience to continue Charles Houston's mission, which is to be "either a social engineer or a parasite on society." As result, many of the attendees have recommitted themselves to serving their respective communities in order to combat any injustice that may exist.
For more information about this event and other San Francisco Diversity Events, please contact the Holland & Knight LLP Diversity Committee's Chair, Kevin L. Nichols at (415) 743-6900 or kevin.nichols@hklaw.com.
