NAACP Encouraged By President Elect




The NAACP just concluded it's 99th annual convention this week, and beginning in September will finally have it's first president in 18 months.

Benjamin Todd Jealous, 35, will assume his new duties in September. Jealous, who is a Rhodes Scholar, has a diverse background having previously run the San Francisco-based Rosenberg Foundation, an organization that supports social justice organizations. He will have a daunting task of making the NAACP relevant again in the black community.
