NAACP Springfield Has an Unsurprising Take on the Haitian Invasion
Mia Cathell
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) chapter in Springfield, where Haitian nationals are overrunning the small Ohio town, has emerged as a vocal proponent of the Haitian invasion. Any opposition to the town's takeover is "racist," NAACP Springfield's leadership says.
"I don't care if you're from Haiti. I don't care if you're from Africa. You're black," Springfield NAACP president Denise Williams told The Springfield News-Sun. "An attack on one is an attack on all of us."
According to the Springfield newspaper, Williams said she and the NAACP arm "will not let the community revert to the attitudes and practices of the 1950s and 1960s." She said the Haitians look just like black Americans and "hate toward them is damaging for everyone."
"I'm tired of all of this talk in 2024 about black people, whether they're from Haiti, whether they're from Africa, regardless of where they're from," Williams said. "Black people are black people and we ain't going nowhere, so they need to stop saying, 'Send them back where they came from.'"
