Press Conference with the US Commission of International Religious Freedom

Michael Cromartie addresses the media in a packed US Capitol Building room

Also on Wednesday, July 28, I attended a press conference in the US Capital Building with the US Commission of International Religious Freedom, of which Michael Cromartie is chairman. The commission spoke about the up-coming Olympics in China and the human rights violations that continue, even more egregiously than before, as the Olympics draw near.

A few years ago, Dr. Cromartie spoke in the opening ceremonies at my college. After the press conference, I was able to speak with him about this. Coincidently, he told me, he flew in from Beijing (site for the 2008 Summer Olympics) to be with us that day for the opening of our school year.
