Pacific Grove resident Ann Jealous, mother of NAACP national leader Ben Jealous, told me Monday she does not expect her famous son to return to the Monterey Bay area any time soon.
"As much as Benjamin loves this area, it’s my understanding that he’s negotiating with universities located near Washington. He’s interested in teaching on the East Coast, it's my expectation that he’ll continue to live there as least for a while," Ann Jealous said.
In a story written by my esteemed colleague Krissah Thompson of the Washington Post, the Herald announced Monday Ben Jealous is leaving the NAACP after five years at the helm.
Jealous, a York School alumnus, grew up in the Monterey area, where his family remains. In five years, he's become a super-star of the civil rights movement and has returned the NAACP to a place of national prominence.
