On August 20, 2020, following an internal vote from the members of the Executive Committee of the Philadelphia NAACP, the National office will take over as administrator to the branch.
The National office will appoint an administrator to assume overall responsibility for the operation of the Branch, its committees and staff, effective immediately. The National office will also work with the Philadelphia branch to ensure a transparent and effective transition takes place to elect new leadership, chosen by its members.
“I apologize for my previous post and the hurt this has caused, and I regret the insult, pain, and offense it brought to all, especially those of the Jewish community,” said Rodney Muhammad, President of the Philadelphia NAACP. “The coming months are critical for America, and the efforts of both the NAACP and religious communities, working together across the country, are vital for the road ahead of us.
I welcome the decision by the Executive Committee to have the National office assume responsibility for the branch, help us transition to new leadership and seek to make our relationship with faith communities across Philadelphia stronger than ever.”
