LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- The group African American Think Tank in Louisville is calling for a boycott of Papa John's. The group also created a list of demands for cultural change following John Schnatter's use of a racial slur.

Rev. Gerome Sutton stood in front of the headquarters and asked the company to add an African American to their board and issue newspaper ads apologizing to African Americans.

Sutton said until the current CEO Steve Ritchie meets with him, he's calling for a boycott on Wednesdays and Fridays.
