NAACP official condemns White politicians trying to replace resigning Black mayor

The North Carolina NAACP defended a local branch president after she argued that it's disturbing for a White person to fill in as interim mayor of Charlotte after Mayor Vi Lyles announced her resignation. Mayor Vi Lyles is a Black woman who recently resigned, and the NAACP president Corine Mack voiced outrage at the possibility of a White person taking her place. The controversy surrounds the representation of Black people in politics.
