Project 21 Members Say Stunt "Only Serves to Racially Fracture Our National Psyche"
- The NAACP recently issued a "travel advisory" for the state of Missouri that suggests a "looming danger" exists there.

Washington, DC - Earlier this week, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, Jr. compared climate activism with moral movements to abolish slavery, end apartheid and promote women's suffrage.
