On Saturday, June 20th, the NAACP celebrated its Centennial at its annual Freedom Fund Banquet. Congratulations President Anthony Witherspoon on your outstanding keynote address. Much has been said, both positive and negative, about the event. It seems the true message did not ring through to the critics. Today, rather than dwell on the negative feedback, I will focus on the message of unity.
