Clyde Bradley – Civil Rights pioneer and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, Rev. Dr. Joseph Lowery spoke from the Fulton County Courthouse steps today, calling for a six to nine-month moratorium on foreclosures and for property values to be assessed in order to bring all mortgages above water.
Lowery said, “We are here today because we are alarmed and saddened at the number of our citizens who are suffering because of the economic crisis.” Lowery added that the banks must start helping poor people or expect communities to withdraw support from the banks.
