Title	Statement by Benjamin L. Hooks on Ronald Reagan's refusal to meet with the NAACP, June 30 1980
Creator	Hooks, Benjamin L.
Description	Statement by Benjamin L. Hooks on Republican Presidential Candidate, Ronald Reagan's refusal to meet with NAACP. The NAACP invited Reagan to attend the 71st NAACP Annual Convention in Miami, Florida. Reagan refused to attend the convention or meet with NAACP. The NAACP sees this refusal as a lost opportunity for both Reagan to explain his position and for Black people of the country to hear Reagan's position on the issues that are important to them. The NAACP sees this refusal as a “write-off” of the Black vote.
