US-POLITICS-OBAMA-HATE-CRIMES
Betty Byrd Boatner (C), sister of James Byrd, Jr., and Judy Shepard (L), mother of Matthew Shepard, stand alongside US President Barack Obama after Obama spoke in honor of the enactment of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act during a reception in the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC, October 28, 2009. In 1998, when he was a college student in Wyoming, Shepard was murdered because he was gay. Byrd, an African American man, was dragged behind a pickup truck to his death in Texas the same year.
