A Rich History of Training
The institute has a history of training and placing more nonwhite journalists than any other single institution in the country. Through the 1970s and 1980s, more than 200 were trained and placed through the institute’s flagship, Summer Program for Minority Journalists (SPMJ), held at the University of California, Berkeley. Since 1980, almost 200 journalists of color trained for advancement to editing desks at the six-week Editing Program, located in 2000 to the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley, from its original home at the University of Arizona Journalism Department.

Um, no, Patricia. You'd have to be a member of an honor guard for it to happen at a DemocRAT convention, and it would be spit not peanuts sent your way.
Sure honey. I might have been born at night, but it wasn't last night.
