KILLEEN, Texas – Gov. Rick Perry, before speaking Friday to the Texas State NAACP, spent some uncomfortable moments on stage as a national civil rights leader pointedly criticized tea parties and secession – two subjects that hit close to home with the governor.
And in a conference rife with talk about past civil rights injustices, many defended under the banner of state's rights, Perry dropped his usual anti-Washington message. Instead, he touted his appointments of minorities to key state positions and advances in education.
