The expenditure comes at a time when some African-American leaders are complaining that the Gore campaign is taking them for granted. "Don't play us in the African-American community," Detroit minister Wendell Anthony warned the campaign in a memo last Friday.

This is the largest collection of the Roulin family portraits ever seen together - 17 in total, including seven different versions of 'The Postman Joseph Roulin.'
