NAACP chairman defends
affirmative action in Detroit
DETROIT (AP) — The NAACP’s national
chairman on Sunday offered a vigorous
defense of affirmative action, saying “as long
as race counts, we’ve got to count race.”
NEWS IN BRIEF
Speaking at the 47th annual Fight for
Freedom Fund dinner, Julian Bond told the
crowd of about 10,000 that “affirmative
action is under attack not because it failed
but because it succeeded.”
Proceeds from the dinner, billed as the
largest of its kind in the United States, help
pay for civil rights and youth programs spon
sored by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
The dinner highlighted three days of activi
ties called Freedom Weekend. The Detroit
chapter is the NCAAP’s largest with about
50,000 members.
