The NAACP plans to relocate its headquarters from Baltimore to Washington, D.C. The organization's president, Derrick Johnson, says it will allow the group to 'amplify the voices of the Black people as we fight for the crucial policy changes.'

It's not clear when the organization will move to the Frank D. Reeves Center of Municipal Affairs, which is set to undergo a redevelopment.

NAACP President Derrick Johnson said the plan dates back about three years, but the timing of the move is auspicious as the country is"on the cusp of change that's long overdue."

How bad is Baltimore when the NAACP wants to move out?

Funny how LameStreamMedia never identifies what crucial policy changes are needed to get rid of the rampant nuanced microaggression racism that plagues us common Americans. They claim big changes are necessary, but never present a solution, accusing anyone who disagrees of evil

Baltimore has become too dangerous for the NAACP!

Why are people too stupid to understand that? DC is the Capital City. It was never supposed to be a state. Never gonna happen.
