Dozens Attend Senator Sanders' MLK Day Debate on Obama Administration

In honor of MLK Day, Senator James Sanders Jr. hosted an exciting debate on the Obama administration, posing the question of whether it was fruitful or fruitless. 

Senator Sanders along with Dr. Lessie Branch argued the fruitless side, citing the decrease in black wealth, income, retirement and home ownership for African-Americans under Obama, along with an increase in poverty. 

The fruitful side was argued by Dr. Dierdre Cooper-Owens and the Rev. Dr. Alfonso Wyatt who cited improvements for the country in the areas of healthcare, the economy and the environment. 

The audience decided the winner and concluded it was a tie. The moderator was Dr. Ron Daniels.

This is Part 1 of several other videos that are available on the senator's YouTube channel.
