    Actor favors citizenship for freedmen descendants

    Tulsa, Oklahom (AP)

    Speaking at a forum hosted by members of the Congressional Black Caucus, Glover called on the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma to allow freedmen descendants into the tribe with full citizenship rights, the Tulsa World reported from its Washington bureau.
