"Mr. Gordon was a creature of the corporate boardroom" - NYTimes
Not breaking news at this point.
Said Bruce S. Gordon:
“In order for any organization to be effective, there has to be a tight alignment between the C.E.O. and the board; that alignment in this case does not exist.”
Said Julian Bond:
“We want it to be a social justice organization; he wanted it to be more of a social service organization. Our mission is to fight racial discrimination and provide social justice. Social service organizations deal with the effects of racial discrimination. We deal with the beast itself.”What I hear from Bond? 'We want to fight racial discrimination, even when non-existent.' This is not to say racial discrimination does not exist, just not to the degree the NAACP sees it.
