I asked about the relevance of the NAACP in an earlier post that included thoughts on Bruce Gordon's resignation and the disputed election for president of the Cincinnati NAACP branch.Well, the NAACP announced that the election for a branch president here in Cincinnati will be run again on March 27. The NAACP national office will supervise the election, which will be held from 6-9 p.m. at the local office on Reading Road. Members as of Oct. 29, 2006 are eligible to vote.
Only a few votes separated incumbent President Edith Thrower from challenger Christopher Smitherman in the first election, held in November. Both candidates claimed victory. For more information about the election, call the NAACP regional office at (248) 557-9708, or the national office at (410) 358-8900.
The main question is still open for comments from any Villager ... is the NAACP still relevant for people of color?
