Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), a Kennedy Center board member, is shutting down claims of a unanimous vote to rename the building after President Donald Trump.

“For the record. This was not unanimous,” Beatty tweeted in response, along with a video message. “I was muted on the call and not allowed to speak or voice my opposition to this move. Also for the record, this was not on the agenda. This was not consensus. This is censorship.” Read more at www.blackenterprise.com.
