“A national Hispanic organization said it will hold its annual convention here if a city parks board member agrees to cut her ties to an anti-illegal immigration group.
The Washington, D.C.-based National Council of La Raza, along with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, have threatened to take their conventions elsewhere unless Frances Semler, a member of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, resigns from the parks board.
But after a meeting Thursday between Hispanic community groups and Mayor Mark Funkhouser, NCLR said it was willing to compromise if Semler revoked her membership in the group.”*
