Faye Anderson is not just a Stanford-educated attorney; she is also a social activist who has the ability to get under the skin of the biggest names in the country. She isn't owned by anyone, and she passionately lays out her perspectives without fear of the repercussions. Faye has written in an extensive and detailed manner about many issues of importance to African Americans, most recently the NAACP's peculiar relationship with Wells Fargo, a bank being sued by municipalities across America for predatory lending. The NAACP was suing Wells Fargo until recently, when the lawsuit was dropped. Faye found herself alarmed when, just a few days later, Wells Fargo emerged as one of the lead sponsors for the NAACP's national convention.


Faye's views tend to be strong and some think extreme. But she backs up her words with facts and a passion to seek out the truth. When I spoke with leadership from the NAACP, I didn't defend every point being made by Faye Anderson, but I did say that it is only logical that her questions about this Wells Fargo situation be answered.
I'll allow you to watch my interview with Faye and judge for yourself.
