African American News: Former NAACP Execs Charged with Embezzlement
A former NAACPexecutive was charged in Fulton County, Ga., with embezzling $275,000 from the U.S. civil rights organization, NAACP officials say.
The Rev. Amos Brown, administrator for the NAACP’s Atlanta chapter, said former NAACP official Judith W. Hanson and Hanson’s former assistant, Saundra Douglass, are accused of embezzling funds during their time with the Baltimore-based organization, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said Tuesday.
Authorities allege Hanson, who served as the executive director of the NAACP’s Atlanta chapter, and Douglass used NAACP funds for personal expenses during a six-year period.
It would be a very good idea for the NAACP to check up on all the chapters. Some people such as myself do not have a membership because of the way the chapters are handled. I actually know chapters claiming to be a chapter with no members, scheduling meetings that no one comes to because we know the person’s in charge aren’t doing anything to help any body.
