Hillsborough NAACP

Until recently under my radar has been the fact that (South) Seminole Heights is the home address for the Hillsborough NAACP. They are located in a strip office center at 308 E. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd, Suite C. I'm proud that the presence of this group just adds to the Seminole Heights reputation as a home for activists and activism.

On their website they note : "We believe in representative democracy with equal rights, access and opportunities for all. "

Hmmmm.......interesting because in this latest gay intolerance flap they have been notably absent.

Not their St. Petersburg counterparts. The St. Petersburg NAACP send a letter to Equality Florida stating "The actions taken by the Hillsborough County Commission are an affront to us all who are actively fighting against racism, anti-Semitism, bigotry and injustice." (See Blogwood for his comments)

Tsk tsk.
