Scot X Esdaile easily won election this weekend to another two-year term as president of the state NAACP.
The tally reported of voting NAACP delegates was 79 to 3.
Esdaile has presided over the state chapter since 2004.
Asked his goals for the coming term, he responded that he “will focus on developing new leadership in the NAACP for the future, striving to bring more jobs to the urban centers across the state, and recruiting and maintaining more black teachers to the inner-city district in Connecticut from historical black colleges and universities in the South.”
Esdaile had faced a challenge from Russell Williams of Hartford.
Why a focus on bringing people from the South? Are southern black men better able to take on this role than black males here in the state?
Please explain yourself because this sounds like it is high on the nonsense meter.
