WASHINGTON — President Bush for the first time in office will address the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the nation’s oldest civil rights group, his spokesman said yesterday.
The president will speak at the organization’s annual convention tomorrow in Washington, the White House press secretary, Tony Snow, said.
“There’s a moment of opportunity here,” Mr. Snow said. “It is clear that in this nation that racism and discrimination are legally unacceptable but there are also residues of the past that we have to address.”
