NAACP insiders find it interesting that city NAACP President Harold Crumpton often goes to Jefferson City and never returns with any major press announcements condemning Gov. Matt Blunt’s policies that are devastating to African-Americans, the poor and the working class.
His silence on the Voter ID bill is as shameful as his kissing up to racist radio hosts. The September election of chapter officers cannot come quickly enough, say many city NAACP members. Right when we need the NAACP to lead a grassroots campaign to help get voters supplied with photo IDs, we see Crumpton in the big chair.
