Minneapolis NAACP takes to the street 
in protest � against itself

During the heyday of the Civil Rights 
Movement in the 1950s and �60s, the NAACP 
was at the forefront of that historic 
struggle, leading demonstrations and 
protests. The legal, if not necessarily 
the societal goal of those battles 
was achieved, but such tactics have been 
little used by that organization in recent years.
That, however, has changed for Minneapolis.
On Friday, August 1, ongoing internal 
tension at the NAACP Minneapolis Branch 
spilled over into the public arena when 
members picketed in protest of decisions 
and actions by its leadership.
