Fighter For Freedom "I am a fighter for freedom, a fighter for justice, a fighter for dignity – and I will not stop fighting for those things. At the same time, people did not send me to Washington DC to blend in to the woodwork. Our community is in need of representation and I intend to do just that…" Over a July 13-15 weekend, the congresswoman speaks to Atlanta journalists, a labor retirement party, and attends two churches. At a quick airport interview, she reminds us that the Rainbow Coalition was cut short with the assassination of Martin Luther King, most likely by COINTELPRO, and that the Justice Department under Ashcroft has, under the rubric of fighting terrorism, just such justice in mind.
