McKinney criticized the "disinformation, misinformation or outright lies," by those lobbyists
denying the Armenian Genocide. She noted that these lobbyists had, "forever shattered their
credibility, at least with this Representative."
Regarding Armenian Genocide Resolution H.Res.398, affirming U.S. record on the Armenian
Genocide and
1) Calling upon the President to ensure that U.S. diplomats dealing with human
rights are educated about the Armenian Genocide, and
2) Urging the President to properly characterize the Armenian Genocide as genocide in his annual
April 24th address

… racial aspects of redistricting have changed considerably during the 1990s. States have
drawn new court-ordered maps that significantly reduced the number of black voters in several
black-held districts. But in the two most contested of those districts, Democratic Reps. Cynthia
McKinney of Georgia and Melvin Watt of North Carolina have easily won re-election. During the
upcoming redistricting, national Democratic leaders hope to ensure that their black members win
re-election, although they also want, in some cases, to reduce the minority populations in those
districts to bolster their party's prospects elsewhere. Republicans, for their part, want to keep the
minority population concentrated in fewer districts.
But black lawmakers object to moving additional black voters from their districts. "Moving my
constituents to [create] additional Democratic districts is specious," McKinney said in an interview.
"There will be no interest in changing the districts of Democrats to the detriment of [those]
Democrats. That won't happen."
