Press Statement March 16, 2021

NAACP President and CEO, Derrick Johnson, Releases Statement on Atlanta Shooting

Statement from NAACP President and CEO, Derrick Johnson, on Atlanta Shooting:

"Our hearts are shattered tonight. The horrifying shooting that took place in Atlanta this evening is a disgusting and disturbing example of how the spread of domestic terrorism has been allowed to torment communities. These acts are the visible manifestation of hateful words birthing hateful acts. An attack on one is an attack on all. We condemn this in the strongest possible terms."
