AUSTIN, TX - The Austin NAACP wants some answers from the Austin Police Department on the fatal shooting of Nathaniel Sanders. Officer Lenny Quintana has been cleared of any wrongdoing in the shooting, but the NAACP went to APD headquarters Monday to demand Chief Art Acevedo come clean about what happened.
Another killing in our community. If it's not the police, it's one of our own doing the killing. What can we do to stop the killing of our young treasures?

Criteria for the Most influential Blacks in CT
At our CT NAACP State Convention we will acknowledge the 100 most influential Blacks in the State of Connecticut. If you have suggestions of individuals that should be on the list, please forward them to email: scotx2001@yahoo.com
...some criteria ideas.
Does the individual transcend his or her profession or position and command widespread national or state-wide influence among Black people?
Does the individual, therefore, affect in a decisive way the lives, thinking and actions of large segments of Connecticut’s Black population?
Does the individual head an organization that commands widespread state-wide influence among Black people or whose individual members are unusually influential in their communities?
Is the individual unusually influential among those Blacks and/or Whites whose policies and practices significantly affect the lives of large numbers of Black people?
Members sugestions, what are yours?
