Poll question: Is the NAACP still relevant?
This was a story on the CBS Evening News. They asked the question, provided views from people on both sides of the question, but never answered it.

What do you think?

3. I visited the Springfield Race Riot exhibit and walking tour last summer.
The 1908 Springfield (IL) Race Riot was the impetus for the founding of the NAACP. Visiting it made me realize that we've made progress, but have much to learn and a long way to go.

Yes, the NAACP is relevant.

4. Very mildly at best
Financial mismanagement and infighting have damn near marginalized it.

7. They're not irrelevant, so I suppose the answer is yes.
