SCLC skirts Vick honor

The Southern Christian Leadership Conference won't recognize embattled Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick after all. Last week SCLC President Charles Steele said the group was discussing how Vick would be acknowledged at the annual meeting in Atlanta. However, Vick can’t travel outside of Virginia where he faces federal dog fighting charges. Today an SCLC spokesman said the group won’t honor Vick and that earlier remarks meant only that the SCLC supports Vick because everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
