NAACP CHIEF: THERE WILL BE MORE CHARLOTTESVILLES

The NAACP’s leader said Tuesday that there would be more racial violence because the Trump administration has “created an atmosphere” that emboldens white supremacists and other hate groups.

“There will be many Charlottesvilles,” Derrick Johnson, the NAACP’s interim president and CEO, said in a speech at the National Press Club in Washington.

Johnson referred to a rally in Virginia this month where white nationalists and other groups protested the possible removal of a Confederate statue and clashed with counterprotesters.
