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:

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?
A mistake, intending one or other of thenames of this association - any ideas on how to fix the other article?
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?

Anyone got any (reliably sourced) ideas here? PamD 16:47, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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.[1] 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.[2] In 1926, NBA president Charles H. Calloway publicly disavowed any connection between the NBA and NNBA. [3]

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)[reply]
