I don't think Sister Brock has said anything that other persons engaged in the organization has said (by the way - she is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha).

One of the things I read in the paper was her being quick to let her support of the Urban League, The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, and other orgs "to advance our common agenda". She was quoted as saying "there is a misconception that the NAACP is a Black organization. It is not. It's a multi-racial, multi-ethnic organization. Our title 'People of color' or 'colored people' really speaks to those who are falling through the cracks, who feel locked out, our desire is to cast out our net broader".
So, it seems that the NAACP may be brought into this century in goals, attitude & actions. Time will tell. |
