STATEMENT ON THE NEW YORK POST CARTOON
February 18th, 2009
“NAACP continues to fight for a country where America’s promise can be realized for all and where racism Is just a tragic memory. We are saddened that the New York Post chose to create a symbol that is so divisive, insensitive and antithetical to that goal. The NY Post must do better.”
Benjamin Todd Jealous
