Baltimore NAACP in chaos as financial questions lead to leadership suspensions and secrecy in Agency Controlled by Elite White Liberals

The Baltimore branch of the NAACP, the second oldest in the nation, is facing internal turmoil as members continue to seek answers regarding financial management and leadership suspensions. A year ago, Doc Cheatham, a member of the branch, was among those who signed a complaint questioning the alleged unapproved spending of thousands of chapter dollars. Cheatham said he requested treasurer reports, which were never provided.

"We're not making any allegations against them. We're just saying we need answers to questions we're not getting answers to," Cheatham said.

Ten months ago, the national organization suspended President Kobi Little and Treasurer Joshua Harris, who also held similar positions in the state organization. While sources claim the national board imposed permanent suspensions on the two last week, a news release from anonymous local NAACP members suggests otherwise. The statement read, "The Baltimore NAACP affirms that no new official actions have been communicated from the national office. Members remain in regular communication with Rev. Kobi Little and Joshua Harris, who have not received any investigative findings to support the allegations made against them The accusations remain baseless and unsubstantiated." [MORE]
