NAACP is fiercely non-partisan. We do not endorse
candidates. But for over 99 years, the NAACP has also

terrorist attack that killed scores of Black people and
exiled Black and White leaders of the fragile political
alliance that was forming. More

by the Democratic National Committee denying Michigan
Delegates to vote for the President at the Democratic
National Conference was flawed because it was in

Listening
to Sen. Barack Obama after his decisive primary victory in
South Carolina, I closed my eyes and could imagine the
voices of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert Kennedy and
the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., morphed into one.
Passion, hope and optimism; speaking from the heart with
integrity; calling on Americans to reach deep into their
souls and understand that our better days lie ahead and
that, by coming together, we can triumph is the message I
hear from Sen. Obama. He has inspired me and a new
generation. More
