NAACP, AT&T bridging the 'digital divide' 

By PAUL SHEPARD 

NEW YORK (July 13, 1999 8:01 a.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - To 
help bridge the gap between whites and blacks and Hispanics in access 
to the Internet, the NAACP will partner with AT&T to create technology 
centers in 20 cities that will provide computer training and Internet 
seminars. 

"The technological segregation known as the digital divide must be 
narrowed," NAACP President Kweisi Mfume said Monday. 

Toward that end, Mfume announced that through the program AT&T will 
provide hardware, software and on-site support for technology in the 
centers.
