Chicago, July 31 (RHC)-- Members of the National Association of Black Journalists are protesting their organization’s decision to invite Donald Trump to the stage when the NABJ holds its annual convention and career fair in Chicago today. 

On Tuesday, Washington Post editor Karen Attiah stepped down as co-chair of the NABJ’s convention, citing its decision to have Trump interviewed at the forum by three NABJ journalists. 

Bobby Henry, the chair of the National Newspaper Publishers Association, which represents over 250 African American-owned newspapers and media companies, condemned the NABJ’s invitation to Trump, writing: “His divisive rhetoric and actions have harmed marginalized communities, particularly the Black community.  Allowing [Trump] a platform at this event undermines the NABJ’s values of inclusion and solidarity and risks normalizing his damaging behavior.”
