On the final day of Annual Conference,
the Louisiana Conference delegates overwhelmingly
approved a resolution to urge the Louisiana Legislature to create a
second majority-black Congressional district. But, the vote was not
unanimous, and the scattered handful of “no” votes inspired Dez
Dunn to address the conference. In this episode of Louisiana NOW,
we catch up with Dez. We
will re-visit his speech, learn more about his reasoning for
speaking, more about the support shown for Dez and even more
about his battle against cancer.
If you would
