    NAACP Demands Sign Be Removed

    The NAACP staged a protest in Paulding County Saturday in their efforts to have what they call a racist sign' removed from a restaurant.

     

    A sign outside the Georgia Peach Museum says pop star Michael Jackson was acquitted of child molestation charges simply because he has money. The sign also uses the “N” word to make its point.

     

    The NAACP wants the owner to remove the sign and accused both the owner and Paulding County leaders of hiding behind the law.

     

    “We want to send a message to the young people” said Douglas/Paulding County NAACP President, Kimberly Alexander. “But we also want to send a message to the community and to the elected officials who choose to sit back by and not do anything about this sign.”

     

    The owner says the sign is protected under the first amendment.

     

    However new ordinance being proposed by the county commission could make signs like this one illegal.

  2. DCI on ESPN2 -- Sept. 6, 2005

     

     

    Drum Corps International (DCI), the world leader in producing and sanctioning touring marching music competitions, today announced that its dynamic and award-winning World Championships television program will be broadcast on ESPN2 this fall. This is the first prime-time broadcast of the program on commercial television, and it will be available to more than 88 million households.

     

    The two-hour program is tentatively scheduled to air on Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2005, from 9 p.m. to 11p.m. Eastern time. Dates and times are subject to change. Additionally, the program will be rebroadcast later in the year as two one-hour specials. Airdates and times will be announced when available.

     

    “Drum Corps International wanted to bring its exceptional television program to as many people as possible, in prime-time, so that we can have a large audience watching the program simultaneously, regardless of where they live,” said Dan Acheson, executive director of Drum Corps International. “ESPN2 is available in over 88 million households and more than 80 percent of all U.S. households, and can certainly help us to achieve that goal.”

     

    The broadcast, a mainstay on public television stations for the past 30 years, will feature highlights from the 2005 Championships in Foxboro, Mass. The highlights will be drawn from the competitive performances of the elite corps competing for the coveted Drum Corps International championship trophy. Included in the telecast will be “behind-the-scenes” features providing captivating insights, profiles and perspectives of this highly competitive and unique display of world-class athleticism and extraordinary musical talent.
