I’s Sorry, Massah! (Mfume To Step Down)

Last week, I posted an article about the NAACP’s woes, it’s irrelevance, and it’s need to become a truly bi-partisan organization. I don’t know if Kweisi Mfume and Julian Bond read TheStateOf(tm), but I’m starting to think they do. Late last week, NAACP President Kweisi Mfume wrote a letter to President Bush, requesting a meeting [...]
