Obama to address criminal justice reform in NAACP speech
buzzz worthy. . . Presient Obama will speak at the 106th Annual NAACP Convention in Philadelphia today. As the first African American president, the Back community has often criticized Obama for side-stepping matters that directly affect Blacks such as racism and a bevy of injustices. Obama is expected to speak candidly about the need for criminal justice reform at the convention. Te White House says the president "will outline the unfairness in much of our criminal justice system, highlight bipartisan ideas for reform, and lay out his own ideas to make our justice system fairer, smarter, and more cost-effective while keeping the American people safe and secure."
