BLACK PRESSURE TO SUPPORT OBAMA

"Blacks Backing Clinton Cite Pressure to Back Obama." Dallas Morning News , April 21, 2008.

Lloyd Elam says he supports Hillary Rodham Clinton at his own risk.

At least that's what the African-American accountant felt when he entered his DeSoto Democratic caucus in March and found the room packed with vocal Barack Obama loyalists, most of them black.

"I felt like if I stood up and said I was for Hillary, there was no telling what would have happened," Mr. Elam said. "I went home early and watched the results on television."
