WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- After a five-year absence, President Bush will appear before the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the nation's oldest civil rights organization, the White House announced Tuesday.
His speech on Thursday comes as his Republican Party tries to court black voters ahead of critical congressional elections in November and almost a year after the Bush administration was widely criticized for failing to help the poor and black communities in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
