According to the Associated Press (via MSNBC), Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee picked up dozens of endorsements from conservative African-American leaders, many of whom are tied to Christian communities:
After leaving the (Martin Luther) King ceremony, Huckabee was endorsed by three dozen African-Americans, most of them connected to conservative religious organizations.
Huckabee’s strong opposition to abortion and gay marriage matches the “high moral values” of many black Americans, said William Owens, founder of a group called the Coalition of African American Pastors.
