"Karen Attiah, a longtime Washington Post columnist, on Tuesday said she was stepping down as co-chair of the annual National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention following internal and external backlash over the announcement of former President Trump as a featured speaker.
The group has a history of inviting presidential candidates to its annual conference, but Trump's participation is causing a rift between members.
NABJ announced Trump's participation at the conference Monday evening, drawing swift pushback from NABJ members and journalists broadly. "
