Primary Content
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal says he made a mistake in using the phrase "colored people" during a speech last month, but he is standing by the gist of his statement.
WAGA-TV reports that Deal was arguing in favor of the proposed Opportunity School District constitutional amendment Oct. 3 when he said: "If you want to advance the state of colored people, start with their children." The governor was speaking before educators at the Technical College System of Georgia.
