The Black Democratic Club’s annual Soul food Fest was held August 20th at Spottswood Church in support of the Club’s voter registration and get out the vote activities.
The occasion also provided DTC members and friends the chance to wish community activist and civil rights leader Alton Brooks a happy 95th birthday. Brooks’ milestone is being recognized in the Congressional Record by Cong. Elizabeth Esty (D-5)
