NAACP Executive Board to consider Dr. Frederick D. Haynes III as organization’s next president
Categories: Justice/Law Enforcement, Religion and Faith

Keeping with the Friendship-West theme, Dr. Frederick D. Haynes, III will be presented to the NAACP executive board in short order to take over as the group’s next president. The Philadelphia Inquirer broke the news a couple of weeks ago that Dr. Haynes was one of three finalists to fill the position. After a recent round of interviews it seems that Haynes has emerged as the lead candidate.
As the information becomes more clear and timelines more apparent, I will share them here. But I’m baffled at how the Philadelphia Inquirer breaks the story two weeks ago, and yet the local media outlets continue to pass on it.
For times such as these, the NAACP could not have a better choice in leadership than Dr. Haynes. If progress is what the organization is looking for, then they will find it in the Senior Pastor of Friendship-West.
If you feel the way that I do, feel free to let the NAACP know at the following contact info.

Hi, I thing it is so wounderful to see a spirit filled, God annonited person leading such a wounderful oganization. I think that Pastor Haynes would be a excellent president for the NAACP. Pastor Haynes has been working for God and working in the community for over 25 years. I have only known him through my former Trinity United Church of Christ, he is a very down to earth person and has a great sense of humor. And because he knows where he has come from and where he is going with the direction of God, he will do very well and I support him just as well as Pastor Jerimiah A. Wright Jr.. These are men of God that have a job to do. I wish him well.
!God Bless!

I want to see if this anointed man of God Will rebuke and revoke the NAACP’s national approval of abortion, and move to have Roe v. Wade overturned. Abortion is the #1 killer of black people in America. It is the #1 killer of all people in America.
Let’s see if he will also take a stand against the Califiornia NAACP, which has endorsed gay marriage.
He needs to stop supporting Jeremiah Wright as well, not just based off of his recent comments, but because he supports homosexuality and abortion.
