NAACP Threatens Boycott Of Hotels

By Newsradio 88 Staff

The NAACP is threatening to boycott three major hotel chains, claiming they didn't respond to a survey on hiring and promoting blacks and black businesses.

The chains -- Holiday Inn, Westin and Best Western -- each received a grade of "F" in the new NAACP guide for black travelers. The NAACP hotel guide gave Marriott the best grade -- a C-plus -- out of the 15 chains surveyed.
