Our Black News: Is the NAACP Relevant?

Share article

Has one of America’s oldest civil rights organizations lost its way, or is it still an essential voice in the fight for justice?

Join co-hosts Anthony Scott and Dr. Don Allen, along with special guest host Rev. Tim Christopher, for a candid conversation about the recent actions of the national NAACP and what they mean for Black America today. We’ll examine the organization’s leadership, priorities, public advocacy, and whether it continues to represent the interests of the communities it was created to serve. This conversation will challenge assumptions, raise important questions, and invite thoughtful discussion from every perspective.
