The work of the NAACP has brought increased visibility and bolstered our historic credibility as the premier civil rights organization with funders, the media, our members, other civil and human rights organizations, policymakers and the public. In 2016 we continued our work on the ground and as we remained heavily involved in civic engagement activities, and witnessed the election of a new President who has thus far demonstrated antagonism at best to many of our priorities - including education, criminal justice, and voting rights.

  • Liberalism Among Black Christian Conservatives
    BLINDED BY THE RIGHT: LIBERALISM AMONG BLACK CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVES _________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted To the Temple University Graduate Board _________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _________________________________________________________________ by Aubrey J. Hilbert August 2013 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Eugene Ericksen, Advisory Chair, Sociology, Emeritus Dr. Matthew Wray, Sociology Dr. Kevin Arceneaux, Political Science Dr. Robin Kolodny, Political Science © Copyright 2013 by Aubrey J. Hilbert All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT In 2012, President Barack Obama was elected to a second term amidst concerns that his support of same-sex marriage would deter conservative African American voters. Rather, for the first time on record, the share of Black voters surpassed the share of White voters in the general electorate (File 2012). This seemingly paradoxical relationship, for conservative Black voters to support Obama while denouncing gay marriage, has yet to lead to any serious scholarly investigation. Instead, past research on religion and party alignment has focused primarily on the White Christian Right. Political sociologists, therefore, possess a better understanding of the correlation between White Christian conservatism and political conservatism. Meanwhile, not only are explorations into how Christian conservatism affects Black voter alignment scarce, but also, these investigations rarely isolate Black Christian conservatives from the general Black electorate. The current political climate complicates the relationship between race, religion, and politics considerably. The election of Barack Obama has symbolized to some that the American electorate exists within a post-racial environment. Accusations to the contrary have focused on supporters of the Tea Party, a movement that formed on the premise of anti-government interventionism.
