    Mr. Derrick Johnson serves as President and CEO of the NAACP since October 2017. He graced the Dentaa show to discuss, the need for African American's to collaborate with the continent... Speaking on the importance of giving African Americans citizenship, the fact that African Americans have a lot to contribute to society and as a whole and that citizenship is one way to ensure their contribution.
    Citizenship is essential for the development of any country, and in the case of Africa, it is especially important. African Americans have a rich history and culture that needs to be brought to the forefront and giving them full citizenship is one way to do that. I hope you will take the time to watch this video and consider the importance of citizenship for African Americans!
    The NAACP is a highly respected civil rights organization, and its work is vital for the development of Africa. By giving African Americans the citizenship they deserve, the NAACP is helping to build a more fair and prosperous Africa.
    President Johnson formerly served as vice chairman of the NAACP National Board of Directors, as well as state president for the Mississippi State Conference NAACP. A longstanding member and leader of the NAACP, Mr. Johnson has helped guide the Association through a period of re-envisioning and reinvigoration. Under President Johnson's leadership, the NAACP has undertaken such efforts as the 2018 "Log Out" Facebook Campaign, pressuring Facebook after reports of Russian hackers targeting African Americans, the Jamestown to Jamestown Partnership, marking the 400th year enslaved Africans first touched the shores of America, and 2020. We are Done Dying Campaign, exposing the inequities embedded into the American healthcare system and the country at large.
    As the Biden Administration took office in 2021, President Johnson led the charge in calling for a Cabinet-level position focused squarely on advancing our nation's longstanding issue of racial justice. President Biden signed an Executive Order establishing an interagency effort to eliminate systemic racial barriers and ensuring federal policies are rooted in equity, optimizing the well-being of all in public policies.
    The height of the NAACP is yet to be seen. It is our opportunity to seize upon our collective energy to make democracy work for our future. There will always be tools and devices, whether it's technology or otherwise that we can leverage and use, but there is no greater tool or device than the collective whole working in unison towards a goal of securing civil rights for our future generations. President Johnson also continues to be on the frontlines on some of the most pressing civil rights issues of our time, calling out Virginia Governor Ralph Northam for his use of Blackface, condemning the burning of Black churches in Tennessee and Louisiana, testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee in opposition to Attorney General William Barr's nomination, and overseeing the NAACP's vote to impeach President Donald J. Trump at the 110th National Convention in Detroit.
    Born in Detroit, Mr. Johnson attended Tougaloo College in Jackson, MS. He then received his JD from the South Texas College of Law in Houston, TX. Mr. Johnson has also furthered his training through fellowships with the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, the George Washington University School of Political Management, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He has served as an annual guest lecturer at Harvard Law School, lending his expertise to Professor Lani Guinier's course on social movements, and as an adjunct professor at Tougaloo College.
    Mr. Johnson is a veteran activist who has dedicated his career to defending the rights and improving the lives of Mississippians. As State President of the NAACP Mississippi State Conference, he led critical campaigns for voting rights and equitable education. He successfully managed two bond referendum campaigns in Jackson, MS that brought $150 million in school building improvements and $65 million towards the construction of a new convention center, respectively. As a regional organizer at the Jackson-based non-profit, Southern Echo, Inc., Mr. Johnson provided legal, technical, and training support for communities across the South.
    President Johnson is frequently featured on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, and many others, advocating on behalf of the Black community and all those who are affected by systemic oppression and prejudice.

    He made his point until he started talking about diversity. Blacks should be wary of it. We blacks have given too much to groups with which were supposedly being diverse with us. These groups usually gravitate back to wanting to be part of the doiminant society which for the most part is not that friendly to the black community. I have been to Ghana five times, between 2005 to 2013, and with each visit noted its progress. Accra I like but Kumasi I really like. This is an excellent interview.

      The jails here are privately owned and traded on the market. The NAACP sees black men fill up these jails for profit and free labour and do nothing. This Ceo is working for the Rothchilds not for black people. Some people that look like us are sell outs.

    Hmm citizenship for 2nd generation Ghanaians and diaspora African is a bonus but starting out getting Ghanaian residency is an easier first step! What is disappointing is that even me having Ghanaian parenrs they made it so very hard for myself and brother to get a Ghana passport though we been coming to Ghana since the 80s! Then dual citizenship and Ghana card is another beast. One agent even told me I wasn't Ghanaian cause my parents moved abroad was born USA. Nearly brought me to tears. Ghana really needs to do better. Cause I'm still waiting.... Countries like Sierra Leone make it so easy to get dual citizenship so folks should explore other African nations and not be stuck on Ghana, stay woke.....
    But nice the NAACP may have global awards in Ghana ✊🏿 always enjoy the awards in USA! I went to college at UVA in Virginia and was a NAACP member in NYC and while in grad school at Howard.

      I think you were misinformed. If your parents are Ghanaian then it would be a simple process. The Leadership in Ghana mainly sees the diaspora as a cash cow! Those that try to settle there and start businesses have been nickeled and dimed to death. I personally know of many who have packed their bags and left Ghana for other African countries, mainly Rwanda. Ghana needs to do better. Old African Leadership is so shortsighted when it comes to the diaspora. They would rather go begging to the West or bow down and kiss China behind than to give citizenship to the diaspora which has the buying power of Spain.

      'West Africa is missing her children and her children are missing her'. Are you on drugs? A more accurate portrayal would be to write West Africa sold millions of her own children into slavery for guns, alcohol and cheap trinkets. Further, many of us do not want to get associated with societies that felt it was morally justified to hunt down, capture then sell their neighbours into slavery. If you really want African citizenship, why don't you exchange places with an African migrant who literally risks his life trying to get here to Europe and escape from Africa.

      As a foreigner to legally live here ( Ghana), you need legal status. Upon arriving immigration stamps your passport and gives a finite number of days, if you overstay this time you’ll pay a penalty fee per month, you can extend by renewal but that also cost visa extension fees.
      I know because I’ve been through it, and advised others who believed that living here is just about flying into the country and staying.

    We always talk about what America owes black ppl, but Africa also has an unpaid debt for their ancestors part in the slave trade. Our ancestors owned land as native Africans therefore it is our birthright to own land on the continent. But no African leader has stepped up or even apologized on behalf of their ancestors.

      I spent some time thinking about this, and I'd like to offer a suggestion which wouldn't be out of place in any national discussion about reparations. It's obvious to me that the atrocities and genocide endured by AA, over a very long period of time, simply can't go on forever, there surely must be an end to the horror. My suggestion is this:
      In the debate about reparations, instead of asking for a check to be 'cut', first recognize that a permanent separation from the oppressors, is the best scenario. And that means repatriation. Ghana's president has offered his country as a natural and welcoming destination. Since Ghana's current infrastructure would clearly not accommodate many more, I respectfully advise thus:
      Reparation, for the hundreds of years of unpaid, low paid, and brutal repression, could take the form of an agreement with Ghana, the US gov. and AA that, the funds be used to develop all necessary infrastructure (housing, roads, medical, educational, industries etc.), such that all AA wishing to return ( I suspect the wealthy may not), would be placed at a level no lower than Ghana's middle class.
      I'm a Jamaican who became aware of the American condition 55 years ago, and quite frankly, it stinks. The atrocities against AA affect me deeply, and I regret I haven't the power or resources to do more than offer suggestions. Peace.

      @@stevenbarrett4110 Without being a multigenerational American, it's hard to really know the way the system works. What you recommend would obviously be a great solution. However, this would never be allowed. The American society and financial system is a delicate instrument that requires those millions to remain exactly where they are. The US government will NEVER give up their School to Prison Pipeline, because as long as they can say you've committed a crime, slavery is STILL LEGAL in the US. They have millions of black people working for a few cents per hour in prisons. People leaving en-masse would threaten that system as well as threaten all the cheap labor they get from minimum wage jobs. Federal minimum wage is still $7.25 per hour shamefully. That means big profit for special interest groups like big employers. Of course, not all African Americans are in these conditions, but the people that would leave immediately are those most desperate, and it would have a very large impact on the US economy.

      @@BrowncoatBlue I see the point. May I suggest a political angle. It appears the republicans have learned nothing from their poor midterm showing, and plan to carry on as usual, maybe become even more extreme. If that is the case, I predict a 2024 sweep for the Democrats. If that plays out, I would like to see an approach where this subject is placed front and center and with gusto, on their to do list. I am aware that reparations have been discussed in a Democratic enclave, (is it Indiana?) and by other persons in Congress. If Democrats sweep as I predict, I would be very disappointed if a VERY serious discussion about reparations wasn't introduced. This current nightmare HAS to come to an end.

    Lady Dentaa, I hope you see this comment. I absolutely loved this interview, and as an African American intimately familiar with the NAACP, I fully expect that organization to engage YOU in partnership if they want to bring the Image Awards to the continent! A group of us will be paying close attention to make sure there is FULL respect for the Guba Awards. I personally don’t think it’s necessary for the NAACP to start a new awards outlet in Africa. They can honor African Excellence at the show in America as a part of promoting Black American tourism on the continent. The NAACP should also be more focused on pressuring the US government and corporations to increase African infrastructure funding and engage in fair trade to stop exploitation of the Motherland! This is not meant to be negative, but just to let you know that Black love, UNITY, partnership and respect is important to many African Americans going beyond the return. We must be conscious about the need for us to break down barriers for each other, and practice uplifting ALL of our people with every opportunity possible.
