PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The NAACP convention is well underway at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The organization’s leaders have laid out the road map for the future throughout the gathering.

“There are many who are wondering whether we are up to the task,” said NAACP President Cornell Brooks.

Brooks offered the keynote speech for day three’s opening plenary session. He spoke about the murder of nine people in Charleston, the killing of Black men like Walter Scott, Michael Brown and others by police, and the gutting of the voting rights act.

Brooks characterized them all as reasons to hit the streets to prove Black Lives Matter.
