MILWAUKEE (AP) - Alfre Woodard and several members of the Congressional Black Caucus rallied voters over the weekend in an effort to motivate blacks to vote in large numbers.
Woodard compared life for blacks under the Bush administration to 1965, when race riots wracked the nation in many of its major cities.
The 50-year-old actress urged the crowd of several hundred at Sherman Park on Sunday to vote ? and to help get others to polling places.
"In your grandmama's name, bring someone with you" to the polls Nov. 2, said Woodard, who was nominated for an Oscar for her role in 1983's "Cross Creek."
The rally was called "Our Vote, Our Future, Make it Count."
