Congratulations President Anthony Witherspoon on your outstanding keynote address. Much has been said, both positive and negative, about the event. It seems the true message did not ring through to the critics. Today, rather than dwell on the negative feedback, I will focus on the message of unity. </p> http://www.mississippi-tribune.com/article/Community_ViewPoint/Community_ViewPoint/Area_resident_and_NAACP_member_responds_to_recent_criticism_of_Black_leadership_published_in_the_EnterpriseJournal_newspaper_and_website_The_Call_to_Unity/18239 No Author Fri, 26 Jun 2009 08:00:00 CST http://www.mississippi-tribune.com/article.cfm?articleID=18239 http://www.mississippi-tribune.com/Media/1/jpg/2009/6/1ced2c80-3048-99b7-5274deb657267e29.jpg <p><strong>Tara Cockerham:</strong> “A special day we celebrate and honor our mothers.
