Minutemen plan to meet in Kansas City after NAACP, La Raza threaten to pull out
Tagged: Kansas City, La Raza, minutemen, MissouriPosted on: September 16th, 2007“Two civil rights organizations have threatened to pull their national conventions from Kansas City because a woman who is a member of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps was appointed to the city’s parks board.
But now, stepping into that convention breach is the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps itself, which has announced plans to hold a convention in Kansas City in December.
The National Council of La Raza, the nation’s largest Hispanic advocacy group, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have said they are considering canceling conventions in Kansas City because of Frances Semler’s appointment in June to the Kansas City Parks and Recreation Board. “
