As president of NAACP, I stand behind Bennie and SCLC's decision. My personal view is if they were going to honor Dr. King, they shouldn't have stopped the street at the black community. His living and contributions wasn't just about the black community.

The NAACP stands behind the school board's decision to redistrict. The NAACP feels separate-but-equal has no place in this society. We feel that if parents would let the children go to school together it (the issue) would work itself out.
