Dreams Deferred
| There is a great deal of irony in the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund's new slogan, "A Rich History. A Challenging Future." Despite its early landmark successes, the LDEF's increasingly left-wing agenda has alienated the organization from the history and original vision of the Civil Rights movement: equality. The early days of the Civil Rights movement have given way to polemical battles. Peter Kirsanow, a George W. Bush appointee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, has characterized today's racial dialogue as "infused with negativism, defeatism, and disillusionment." Ultimately, the pessimistic attitude adopted by the current incarnation of the LDEF does nothing to advance the cause of minorities. It does, however, supply plenty of ammunition with which to advance the organization?s political goals. |
