The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) declined a request by Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign to appear at this year’s convention, a source familiar with the plans told The Daily Beast.
The news, first reported by theGrio, came hours after Karen Attiah, a co-chair of this year’s NABJ convention, stepped down after the organization announced Donald Trump would appear for a moderated conversation at the Chicago event.
The Trump conversation, focused on “the most pressing issues facing the Black community,” with ABC News reporter Rachel Scott, Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner, and Semafor reporter Kadia Goba, has caused significant outrage among NABJ members.
Harris could not speak in person at the convention due to logistical reasons, including the funeral of Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) and finalizing a vice presidential nominee, the source said. She offered to appear for a virtual fireside chat during the convention or an in-person conversation at a later date, but the convention’s organizers declined. NABJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Hahaha. Trump is the man.
Good for them. The right wants all to have equal opportunities and good jobs. This is done by allowing individuals to make their choices and be able to follow them.
The left wants all on government handouts, such that they have little choice but to follow the left “leaders”.
Once the left gains control, the only way out will require those weapons they took away from you.
“Of course that means they’re not black”

They probably saw their grocery bill and realized they want Trump back.
I neglected to add that Black Journalists are showing good judgement and intelligence. Leftist white journalists are showing a wish to return to the plantation as masters. Always remember that the party of the Klan was the DemocRAT party.
Oooofff!
This is set for Wednesday, July 31, at noon CST.. in Chicago.
According to the NABJ website, “Trump will engage in a Q&A with political journalists before an audience of registered convention attendees that will concentrate on the most pressing issues facing the Black community.
The event will be moderated by Rachel Scott, senior congressional correspondent for ABC News; Harris Faulkner, anchor of The Faulkner Focus and co-host of Outnumbered on FOX News; and Kadia Goba, politics reporter at Semafor.”
They go on to say:
“We look forward to our attendees hearing from former President Trump on the critical issues our members and their audiences care about most,” said NABJ President Ken Lemon. “While NABJ does not endorse political candidates as a journalism organization, we understand the serious work of our members, and welcome the opportunity for them to ask the tough questions that will provide the truthful answers Black Americans want and need to know.”
I say go for it, President Trump. Get your message out by any means available.
I’ll tell you this, we’ve all been financially damaged by illegal immigration but black men have been damaged the worst. Construction jobs are NO MORE. The illegals move in, accept lower wages and AND only hire other Hispanics. The blacks are shut out.
Here’s hoping.

That and the 10 million new illegals have caused a housing shortage making rent and home prices to soar. Women and minorities hardest hit.😮
That’s right.
Good for them..glad that Trump is going to speak there
Ouch, that has to hurt!
Well, this is awkward.

Apparently the co-chair responsible for inviting Trump got fired today.
I like what they say, but I have never heard of them before.
Wow. Unexpected.
I love it.
