President Of NAACP Chapter Resigns Following Donald Sterling Scandal

 

“The legacy, history and reputation of the NAACP is more important to me than the presidency,” Jenkins wrote in his resignation letter. “In order to separate the Los Angeles NAACP and the NAACP from the negative exposure I have caused the NAACP, I respectfully resign my position as President of the Los Angeles NAACP.”

He had no other choice. Sterling had donated $45,000 to the organization that has been struggling in recent years.
