NAACP Joins Effort to Repeal Florida County Anti-Gay Ban
- St. Petersburg Branch 727-898-3310
Following is a letter from the NAACP St. Petersburg Branch forwarded to Equality Florida:
We want you to know that we stand with you in your courageous fight against bigotry and predjudice.
The actions taken by the Hillsborough County Commission are an affront to us all who are actively fighting against racism, anti-Semitism, bigotry and injustice.
Instuitutional bigotry reminds us of a time not long ago when institutionalized racism was the order of the day in St. Petersburg and throught the Southern state. It was only through the efforts of decent men and women that we finally changed the hearts and minds of most people throughout the entire country.
The struuggle is still not over, hence we want you to know, and the Hillsborough Commissioners to know that bigotry has no place to hide anymore and that the dark shadows of injustice will be exposed to a new light of day throughout all of Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties.
Darryl Rouson, President
Trenia Cox, 1st Vice President
Harry Harvey, 2nd Vice President
Norman Brown, 3rd Vice President
