North Carolina NAACP Head Arrested Before School Board Meeting
RALEIGH, N.C. – An NAACP leader in North Carolina who claims a school board’s policy will resegregate schools has been arrested at the board’s meeting. The Rev. William Barber had been banned from this meeting after his trespassing arrest at a board meeting last month. Barber is upset over the Wake County school board’s decision to eliminate a busing policy focused on diversity.
Barber was among about 1,000 people who marched in protest over the board’s decision earlier Tuesday. He called on the supporters to come to the meeting to confront the panel.
Barber and another person were arrested outside the Wake County Schools administration building. Raleigh police set up a mobile command center and had roughly two dozen officers there.
