A group of Chicago ministers are calling for a boycott of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's annual breakfast honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The ministers have been voicing their anger at Emanuel in the weeks since a video of a white police officer fatally shooting black teenager Laquan McDonald and they urged community leaders to join their boycott of Friday's breakfast.
The Rev. Ira Acree says he does not want to provide "political cover" for a mayor who he says tried to keep the public from seeing the video that was ultimately ordered released by a judge.
Several aldermen say it's a mistake to "politicize" an event that honors King. Emanuel says the breakfast is not about him but about honoring the civil rights icon.
