DETROIT (AP) - The NAACP held a symbolic funeral in Detroit 63 years ago for Jim Crow.
The civil rights organization will do the same this summer for the "N" word, the Rev. Wendell Anthony said Sunday.
Anthony, president of the civil rights organization's Detroit branch, said members and supporters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will conduct services and a "eulogy" for the racial slur. The mock funeral will be held during the NAACP national convention July 7-12 in Detroit, he said.
