Emergency Manager Law Protested in Michigan 
--------------------------------------------



In Michigan, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Rep. John Conyers and religious
leaders held a protest on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day outside the home
of Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder. They were protesting Michigan's increasing
use of the state appointing unelected emergency financial managers to
take over management of predominantly cities and school districts that
have large African-American populations.
