NAACP: National Convention In Baltimore Not A Done Deal

The NAACP says the site of its 2016 national convention, reported to be Baltimore, has not yet been selected.

The civil rights groups said in a statement Thursday that its convention planning committee recently heard presentations from Baltimore; Austin, Texas; Cincinnati, and St. Louis. It said the ongoing selection process will include visiting the proposed sites, and recommendations will be made to the board of directors in October.

Tessa Hill-Aston, president of the Baltimore NAACP branch, said in an email on July 23 that the national board had selected Baltimore to host the 2016 convention.

Hill-Aston said Thursday that she could not immediately comment on the national group's statement or why she reported that Baltimore had been selected.

  1. They should have it in Chicago, a very safe city. They have some of the strictest gun laws in the country. Obama should also show up, without his body guards because it is so safe, this would be a true show of support for tuff gun laws if he did. He could show everyone, how safe a city is with real strict gun laws!!! This is a perfect city for the NAACP show!
