Cedra Crenshaw

“I am sadden and outraged at the passage of the ‘civil unions’ bill. It grossly misuses the civil rights legacy, and it misuses it for a political agenda that is built upon destroying the family… I am blessed and honored to be here today among friends who refuse to stay silent… It is about building strong families so that we can build a better tomorrow. And that basis is built on marriage between a man and a woman…”
~Cedra Crenshaw — Professional Accountant, former candidate for Illinois State Senate and mother

Mrs. Crenshaw joined more than 40 African-American religious and political leaders on Monday, January 17, 2010, Martin Luther King Day, to decry the misrepresentation of King’s legacy and the noble civil rights cause. With the recent passage of the “civil unions” bill in Springfield, these good men and women decided that they could not remain silent.
