Talk:National Bar Association

Name
This article says that the association was previously the "Negro Bar Association", founded in 1925. In National Equal Rights League (mentioned on JImbo's talk page today), there's a red link for National Negro Bar Association. Is that: Anyone got any (reliably sourced) ideas here?

 * 1) Another early name for this association- in which case could someone please add it to this article, sourced, and make a redirect which will turn that redlink blue?
 * 2) A mistake, intending one or other of thenames of this association - any ideas on how to fix the other article?
 * 3) The name of a different body - please add info somewhere with a source, either in an article on that body or in a note or ref in the NERL article?


 * A review of Google Books shows some understandable confusion on the issue, but it appears that the NNBA was founded in 1909, either as an offshoot or a subgroup of the National Negro Business League, and ceased operations in 1922. The relationship with the NNBL became untenable due to the lawyers' unwillingness to go along with Booker T. Washington's acceptance of second-class citizenship. In 1926, NBA president Charles H. Calloway publicly disavowed any connection between the NBA and NNBA.
 * Obviously the NNBA should have its own article, but a stopgap measure would be to include a paragraph in the painfully inadequate NNBL article and redirect National Negro Bar Association to there. -- Visviva (talk) 21:34, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
