Last night was a special night, because this local NAACP President had the distinct privilege to be interviewed by NAACP National President Ben Jealous on the Syndicated Radio Talk Show "The Bev Smith Talk Show," with President Jealous as the host for the evening.
The National NAACP is now involved in what is happening in the Tangipahoa Parish School System. We will now get national attention in what is happening in this school system, especially in the area of the widely monitored "school to prison pipeline" now happening in Tangipahoa Parish and across this country.
We are elated NAACP attorneys will soon come into this parish to interview parents and their children and other individuals on what is happening in this school system and other areas, and in addition, President Jealous will pay a visit to this parish as well.
As the journey continues for justice, we are elated the attention needed will finally come. It is our faith in doing so, it will give others who have not reopened their deseg cases the ability see positives come from our deseg case, thus giving hope to so many others who may need to see this same hope as their deseg cases are reopened.
