WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 2001 American civil rights leaders have written a letter to Secretary of State Colin Powell, urging him to attend an upcoming United Nations conference on racism. The group of 180 civil rights leaders want Powell to lead a delegation to the United Nations World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance. It will be held in Durban, South Africa, and starts on August 31. Alaska Native leaders have been discouraged by their own Senator, Republican Frank Murkowski, from attending the conference. He said the conference might be a "sham" aimed at embarrasing the United States for its record on race relations. Get the Story:
