Doug Jones gets last-minute boost from prominent African-American leaders
by Katie Leach | Dec 9, 2017, 2:44 PM

Democrat Doug Jones is getting a last-minute boost from prominent African-American leaders in his tough race against Republican Roy Moore for U.S. Senate in Alabama.

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., are set to speak at Alabama State University on Saturday alongside Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Ala., and former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick in a special get-out-the-vote effort aimed at getting black voters to turn out for Jones on Tuesday’s election day.

In addition, Matthew Knowles, Beyonce’s father and an Alabama native, spoke to a group of voters Saturday morning at a prayer breakfast, saying, “We’re not just voting for a person or voting for a party, we’re voting for the perception of Alabama.” He also said that he is "100 percent against the values and ideology that Moore has."

The dems are peeling away some of Moore's crucial African American vote.

This changes everything.

Gotta fire up the black voters, noticed Jones sent this ad out to black communities in Montgomery and Bham the other day...

Class... using racism to fire up the voters...

Given the record of a good number of the members of the Black Caucus this might not be a very effective approach.

Senator R. Kelly?  He’d get votes.

Man, that is as offensive racially as it gets. Even I , as a white guy, am offended for blacks by that.

I know.  I cringed also.  What a lame attempt.  Why didn't they just use a picture of Sambo?
