The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, more commonly known as the NAACP, has broken a 116-year tradition in an unprecedented move against President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies. The nation’s oldest civil rights organization announced on Monday it has decided not to invite Trump to its annual convention for the first time since its founding.

“For 116 years, the NAACP has invited the sitting president of the United States to address the NAACP National Convention — regardless of their political party,” the group said in a statement ahead of its convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, July 12-16.
