President-Elect Michael Curry speaks to Cheryl Crawford during the election.
November 30, 2010 - Boston, MA - NAACP
Another "REFORM" candidate has won an election to lead the Boston Chapter of the NAACP - National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
The membership chose a progressive thinking attorney and lobbyist (legislative advocate community health centers) to lead the next two years for the Boston membership of the NAACP. The highly contested election pitted the young attorney, Michael Curry, 42 years against the elder statesman, Bill Owens, 72 years.
The election was held at the Roxbury Community College.
The vote tally was 480. Curry won by 80 votes.
Boston like Milwaukee has it common threads of matching NAACP brand with image, recruitment of membership, especially the young as well as restoring vitality to a dysfunctional but once vital entity in the city.
"I think President Curry will be just fine" said Mary Glass, Milwaukee Professionals Association - "Especially since he has committed supporters like "Supreme Richardson".
