Former Secretary of State and ex-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton headlines a list of speakers for the NAACP National Convention in Boston later this month.
Joining the former First Lady on the convention speaker list are Massachusetts Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and Tennessee Rep. Justin Jones — who had been expelled from the House of Representatives after leading a gun control protest following a mass shooting.
The 114th NAACP National Convention is coming to Boston from July 26 to Aug. 1.
“Each year, NAACP members and friends gather at the Convention in a shared space that has proven vital for our collective growth and advocacy,” NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson said in a statement.
“Now more than ever, this sacred convening is crucial to our continued fight for the preservation of democracy,” Johnson added. “We are excited to bring vitality and vibrance to our roots in Boston, home of the Association’s first chartered branch.”
The other speakers at the convention will include:
Shavon Arline-Bradley, President and CEO of The National Council of Negro Women Kimberlé Crenshaw, Scholar and Civil Rights Activist Gary Chambers, Social Justice Advocate Bishop Vashti McKenzie, Author, “The Journey to Well” Rome Flynn, Actor, Netflix’s “Raising Dion” and Prime Video’s “With Love” Sheryl Underwood, Comedian, Host, ABC’s “The Talk” Jabari Banks, Actor, Peacock’s “Bel-Air” Adrian Holmes, Actor, Peacock’s “Bel-Air” Jasmine Guy, Actress, “A Different World” Lamaan Rucker, Actor, OWN’s “Greenleaf” Essence Atkins, Actress, BET’s “First Wives Club” Marcus Scribner, Actor, Freeform “Grown-ish” and ABC’s “Blackish” Kadeem Hardison, Actor, “A Different World” Danielle Ponder, Singer The convention’s theme will be “Thriving Together.”

And she hates “those kind”.
“Vital for our collective”
That’s communist speak.
Practicing her Souther Drawl now.
I’s no ways tiiirrred.
Remember the time that Hillary told a mostly black audience, that Republicans ran Congress like a plantation, and “you know what I’m talking about”, to that black audience.
The implication being, that modern day black folks, know all about working as laborers on a plantation.
Look for hillary to be pillaried at the NAACP talk in boston... the tide is turning and black conservatives are growing in number...
you read it here first.
Good for her. She may be getting old, but I’m sure she don’t feel no ways tired . . . .
If a White person is headlining, I guess we have solved all of our racial differences.
To add an extra month to my jail time I might bring along a large sign showing the old Aunt Jeremiah label.
Will she fake the dialect and whip a bottle of hot sauce out of her purse and wave it around?
we’re all thinking the same thing.
