NAACP gathers in Augusta

More than 500 delegates and volunteers from the Georgia NAACP are meeting in Augusta to talk about issues confronting African-Americans. The group's 66th annual state convention begins today. The convention will focus on increasing the number of African-American voters in this year's elections. It will also address how the struggling economy is affecting blacks, according to the Augusta Chronicle.
