Fight against GOP
BALTIMORE - An African Methodist Episcopal bishop said he plans to launch a regional black voter drive to offset the Republican gains of 1994.
At a recent conference at Bethel A.M.E. Church, Bishop Frederick C. James said that his church is launching an effort to register every black resident of voting age to overcome the often-narrow majorities by which the GOP won many districts nationwide last year.
Delegates came to the Baltimore conference from throughout Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and the District of Columbia, which form the district James oversees.
