Doug R,Since you apparently haven't bothered to read this thread (and so presumably don't mind your ignorance showing), I would direct you to Deb C's post of 12:57 p.m. wherein she quotes the Executive Director's justification for violating the NAACP boycott.
You might also like to read the messages here from Tedham Porterhouse, a Folk Alliance member who has been contributing to this thread.
You may also follow the story on the Folk Alliance email list, which you may join with ease by following the instructions provided on their listserv page, provided by Guest in their 3:27 p.m. message.
