PSG's Lamell McMorris Praises Rev. Jackson For Empowering The Voiceless

(AFRICAN AMERICAN NEWSWIRE)WASHINGTON-The Perennial Strategy Group, working with the Rainbow Push Coalition, honored civil rights leader Rev. Jesse L. Jackson at a reception that raised money for the Citizenship Education Fund.

Lamell McMorris, head of the Perennial Strategy Group, presented Rev. Jackson with a check for $20,000 to the Citizenship Education Fund, a policy organization advocating for public policy initiatives that impact on poor and low income Americans. The reception was held during the Congressional Black Caucus annual conference.

"We are pleased to make this contribution, and host this event for such a worthy cause as the Citizenship Education Fund,'' Mr. McMorris said. "The Citizenship Education Fund plays a major role in advocating for the voiceless in our society. They empower Americans who have no other representatives at the table.''

In praising Rev. Jackson, Mr. McMorris said, "He has spent his life advocating on behalf of the powerless in our society. We are proud to stand beside him in this new fight to build the Citizenship Education Fund into an organization that will improve the quality of life in rural and urban America for those that our political system often leaves behind.''

Russell Ewert, chairman of the Citizenship Education Fund Board of Trustees, thanked Mr. McMorris for the contribution.

"With the help of people like Lamell McMorris, the Citizenship Education Fund will continue to give a voice to the voiceless in our society,'' Mr. Ewert said. "We will continue to shape public policy. We will continue to help build an America that provides opportunities for people of color, and all races.''

Rev. Jackson also praised the organization's mission, saying, "The Citizenship Education Fund empowers citizens who need strong advocates. They are helping to bring opportunity and equality to all Americans.''
