Los Angeles NAACP President Leon Jenkins Resigns Amid Donald Sterling Controversy
[HuffPoo] Records indicate that Sterling's foundations have given Jenkins' branch at least $45,000 since 2007, The New York Times reports. The Times also points out that Sterling was given a similar award under Jenkins' leadership in 2009."Please be advised that the legacy, history and reputation of the NAACP is more important to me than the presidency," Jenkins declared in his letter of resignation shared in a NAACP statement. He added that he was resigning "In order to separate the Los Angeles NAACP and the NAACP from the negative exposure I have caused the NAACP." A definite loss to the movement. LJ will be greatly missed. Posted by: Besoeker 2014-05-02 |
