The NAACP has announced the suspension of its DeKalb County chapter president. Teresa Hardy, who served as the executive committee’s treasurer since 2016, said she’s appealing the decision but offered no further comment. “President Hardy is on suspension based on allegations from the state of Georgia NAACP conference,” said Lance Hammonds, the DeKalb chapter’s first vice president. An administrator of the Georgia NAACP, Edward Dubose added, “There is nothing that gives me any indication it is criminal. When we have concerns that violate our Constitution or bylaws, there is a process that we must follow to address those concerns and we are doing that.” ocgnews.com
