NAACP <strong>Image</strong> Awards Targeted for Protest<br />

Benton Harbor, Michigan, activist Rev. Edward Pinkney plans to<br />

lead hundreds <strong>of</strong> pickets at <strong>the</strong> NAACP’s <strong>Image</strong> Awards ceremonies on<br />

February 1, in Los Angeles. “Our main objective is to wake up <strong>the</strong><br />

NAACP, and show that <strong>the</strong>y are out <strong>of</strong> touch with <strong>the</strong> community,” said<br />

Pinkney, longtime leader <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> civil rights group’s local chapter. Pinkney<br />

charges <strong>the</strong> NAACP collaborated with a Whirlpool Corporation scheme to<br />

take over <strong>the</strong> Ben Harbor NAACP, in return for financial support. The Los<br />

Angeles protest will send <strong>the</strong> NAACP a message, said Pinkney: “We need<br />

you to stop taking <strong>the</strong>se corporate dollars.”<br />
