Welcome to the NAACP MEAB Blog!

Greetings Everyone!

Welcome to the NAACP MEAB Blog. Here we can express our ideas, thoughts and concerns about what is going on in our communities, in our country and in our world. I hope that through this blog we are able to grow in our thinking and help one another to take step towards creating an equitable life for all.

Our first topic focuses on the recent racist incidents that have occurred in our country in using a noose as a symbol of hatred, racism and disrespect. Specifically, the events in Jena, Louisiana and also New York City are in the forefront of my mind. Personally, the hanging of a noose on one of my professor's doors at Teachers College, Columbia University infuriated me but also served as a confirmation to those in disbelief that racism is alive, evident and relevant.

So what do you think about the recent events of the noose?
