NAACP’s Board Chairperson, Julian Bond, says of Bruce S. Gordon’s resignation, “Put simply, we fight racial discrimination and social service groups fight the effects of racial discrimination,” he said. “Service is wonderful and praiseworthy and fabulous, but many, many organizations do it. Only a couple do justice work, and we’re one of those few.”
