A state lawmaker angrily lashed out at a legislative committee this morning after it rejected her request to hang a portrait of Coretta Scott King in the state Capitol, saying the committee's action was comparable to calling King an N-word.
Rep. Roberta Abdul-Salaam (D-Riverdale) also asserted that the House Special Rules Committee's action was worse than radio shock jock Don Imus calling the Rutgers University women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos."
"It is just like calling Mrs. King a nappy-headed (N-word)," Abdul-Salaam told reporters after the committee rejected House Resolution 376, killing it for this legislative session.
