![National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Summit](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
A summit discussing the present and future of the NAACP. Long time members Jack Greenberg (former council director of NAACP legal-education fund) and Michael Meyers (former director of NY civil rights coalition, Assistant director of NAACP) disagree with the new ways in which the organization is being run, while Sharpton and Jackson support the new directions. This heated debate is about the fact that an earlier Baltimore summit had an all-Black council along with Louis Farrakhan, whose political stances are contentious. Meyers and Greenberg argue that the NAACP is on a road to destruction due to Black extremism, separatism, bigotry, and the forgotten sense that all minorities and whites are supposed to come together. Sharpton and Jackson argue that they have the right to have an all-Black summit with all ranges of public opinion just like other minority groups (i.e., Jews, Latinos, Asians, etc.).
