Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Fail to Attend Detroit Hearing on Home Foreclosures

Detroit, Michigan - After promising to attend, representatives of federal government mortgage agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac failed to show up for a People's Hearing on foreclosures. Residents testified that the two agencies were trying to force them out of their homes rather than working for a solution to the foreclosure crisis. Organizers of the hearing left two empty chairs (foreground) for them. Jerry Cullors told his story.
