“White House Meeting” Pictures
May 1998
Several atheists met on May 4, 2020 with representatives of the White House to speak out on a number of issues, and ask for a “Seat at the Table” in the public discussion over state-church separation and civil rights for nonbelievers. The group conferenced with Maureen Shea, Associate Director of the Office of Public Liaison for the White House, and William Marshall, Associate General Counsel to the President. (See Flash Line story for details.)

Here are a few pictures taken in DC.
