Former U.S. Senate candidate Sonny Landham, of Ashland, has released details about his forthcoming "voter registration block party" in west Louisville later this month.

Food and drink will be provided by Landham and fellow organizer Amelia Moore at the August 23 event, which will run from 12 to 6 pm.

The party will be held on Magazine Street, on the block between 23rd and 24th Streets.

Landham announced the event even after he suspended his candidacy for Senate earlier this month. Landham had clinched the Libertarian Party's nomination for Senate and was likely to be on the state's ballots, after canvassers collected the required number of petition signatures to secure access.

However, Landham was stripped of the nomination after making a series of anti-Arab comments that culminated in advocacy for a potential Arab genocide.

A former actor who appeared in the action movie Predator, Landham said he was holding the rally this month despite the termination of his candidacy to boost registration rolls in advance of the November general election.
