NAACP Excludes Trump From 2025 Convention, Breaks 116-Year Tradition
In a historic break with tradition, the NAACP has chosen not to invite former President Donald Trump to its 2025 national convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. This marks the first time in over 100 years that a sitting or former president will be excluded. NAACP President Derrick Johnson labeled Trump’s ideology as 'fascist' and counter to the group’s values, citing voter suppression efforts, attacks on civil rights, and concerns over democratic backsliding. The move has sparked debate across political and civil rights circles. In addition, the NAACP also announced plans to sue Elon Musk’s xAI over air pollution violations in Memphis, underscoring the group's commitment to both social and environmental justice. These actions reflect a more confrontational stance by the NAACP in 2025 amid heightened racial and political tensions nationwide.
