13 Sep 2004 NAACP Backs Down

Posted at 02:22h in Blog by

Blogger and Project 21 member Michael King is reporting on his Ramblings’ Journal blog that NAACP CEO Kweisi Mfume is going to “apologize personally” for an incident in which the national NAACP reportedly pressured the Ohio NAACP to rescind a speaking invitation to U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige.

Mfume denies, however, that the national NAACP played any role in the matter.

Project 21 condemned the snub of Paige on Friday.
