The Daily Mail – Organizers of a meeting to discuss an upcoming mayoral race in Georgia barred reporters from attending – unless they were African-American.
The Wednesday meeting at a church in Savannah was held to try to unite the city’s black community behind a single candidate for mayor in the Nov. 5 election. Signs at the door said: ‘Black Press Only!’
White reporters were denied entry, while at least two black reporters and the publisher of a local African-American newspaper were allowed inside, the Savannah Morning News reported.
