In addition to the Reverend Peterson, the featured speakers at Monday's event included former Reform party vice presidential candidate Ezola Foster, Barbara Coe of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform, Joyce "Rejoyce" Smith of Rejoice Ministries in Houston, Texas, and Pastor Wiley Drake, whose First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park works with homeless people in the area. Smith drew smiles and nods when she told the group what she says to people in Houston-area housing projects: "You allow Jesse Jackson to come into your housing projects with his rent-a-mob. He will limo into the housing projects and he will carry on all this foolishness and then he will limo out of your housing projects and you are still here in the midst of your rats, your roaches, your crack heads, your crime...and you allow Jesse Jackson to come into your community and preach his hatred. Smith said the only circumstance under which she would consider listening to Jackson "is if he was living in the projects." She said she is offended at Jesse Jackson "and that ilk" for running a political ad during the presidential campaign suggesting that Texas Gov. George W. Bush was somehow responsible for the death of James Bird. "I don't take that lightly," she told the group. "I did not see Jesse Jackson on C-Span or any of those 'Spans' repudiating that foolishness that my then-Gov. Bush had something to do with it." Smith dismissed criticism raised by Jackson and others, who complained that Texas does not have a hate crime statue. "All crime is hate," she said. "I don't understand no love crime. If you're going to have a hate crime, then you have to have a love crime," she told the crowd. cnsnews.com Rejoyce is an elderly black lady from here in Houston, a breath of fresh air here in the most polluted city in the U.S.
