The NAACP at one time was the boldest civil rights organization in America. What happened that has caused this great civil rights organization to decline in such numbers that it may soon cease to exist? The Clarksville NAACP located in the city of Clarksville and Montgomery County, Tennessee is a example of how civil rights failures on the local level directly affects the national organization. with the refusal of the Clarksville NAACP Branch to tackle local tough racial issurs it is only left with begging for the minority community to join during it's annual membership drive and to support the Freedom Fund Banquet to fund a branch which is dying on it's feet.With no local agenda the Clarksville NAACP exist's in name only.
