This article presents information on speeches delivered at a recent meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), by NAACP chairman Julian Bond and chief Kweisi Mfume. Bond claimed that NAACP is the biggest civil-rights organization in the U.S. In their addresses, both Bond and Mfume pointed that today's black conservatives should be grateful to the desegregationist efforts of the NAACP. But, this year's speeches aimed to show the lack of progress made by Blacks since 1964. One can only conclude that Bond and Mfume are waiting for a complete overhaul of the American society, involving a massive redistribution of wealth among the people.
