NAACP issues travel advisory for Florida even though board chairman lives in state
Fox News
The chairman of the NAACP Board of Directors resides in the Tampa Bay area despite the organization recently issuing a travel advisory warning against travel to Florida.
The ominous warning comes despite the fact that Leon W. Russell, who is the chairman of the NAACP Board of Directors, lives in the Tampa Bay area. According to Russell's Twitter profile, the NAACP leader currently lives in the Tampa Bay area, while his profile on the NAACP website lists numerous posts he has held for the organization within the state of Florida.

Yet a press release by the NAACP reasons that the advisory was "in direct response to Governor Ron DeSantis' aggressive attempts to erase Black history and to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in Florida schools."
