'Inclusive' diversity programs shortchange blacks, NAACP says

Nana Watson approached the microphone last week to tell Franklin County commissioners that, although she is president of the NAACP's Columbus branch, she opposed the "inclusion and diversity plan" that the commissioners were ready to approve because her group had not been consulted. Watson and the local NAACP's other leaders have become more aggressive about seeking out officials to say they want to be included in planning and building the future.
