The National Association of Black Journalists is dealing with internal chaos following former President Trump's appearance, with one member calling it 'a mess.'
Former President Trump’s appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists has created internal division among its members and the group is now in talks to hold a Q&A with Vice President Harris. Former Ohio University journalism professor Justice B. Hill, who has been a member of the NABJ for nearly 50 years, told The Hollywood Reporter that he felt a sense of bewilderment and betrayal by his group after the Trump panel. 'It’s a mess,' Hill told The Hollywood Reporter.
Trump came into our home, a Black Press advocacy convention, and insulted us in our face. What is worse he was invited to do this by NABJ leadership,' White House correspondent April Ryan tweeted on Wednesday. President Derrick Johnson also weighed in on the event, writing, 'To walk into a room full of Black journalists and attack someone’s ‘Blackness’ is another level of disrespect. To anyone who needs a reminder: we can’t change the color of our skin, and we don’t want to.' Hill further questioned why Trump attended the Chicago convention in his interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
The Black Press cannot be marginalized, especially when it comes to issues related to this. This is right down their wheelhouse,' he said. 'So, we can’t have no place at the table, particularly with the organization that’s about Blackness and the power of the press.' Trump’s Q&A at the NABJ led to several contentious moments.
