"Malkia Cyril, a Black Lives Matter activist in Oakland, Calif., praised the new approach. “For the NAACP to more vocally expand its portfolio of issues to include corporate accountability is an amazing step for black communities in this country,” she said. “When we talk about racism in this country, we so often talk about government oppression and not about the role these corporations are playing in the lives of black people. I hope demanding accountability from American Airlines is only the tip of the iceberg.”"
