Black Vote

LOS ANGELES, CA - NOVEMBER 6:  People cheer as television news reporters call a victory for President Barack Obama at the Community Coalition election night party during the U.S. presidential election on November 6, 2012 in the South Los Angeles section of Los Angeles, California. The Community Coalition was founded by U.S. Congresswoman Karen Bass in 1990  to help South L.A. communities that had been devastated by the 1980s crack cocaine epidemic. The election will decide whether Democrat Barack Obama serves a second term as president of the United States or is replaced by Republican rival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
