Is Paris Dennard Heading to the Administration?
Many have wondered why political and social commentator Paris Dennard is a staunch advocate for the Trump administration. Paris has been the subject of criticism for not calling out the president for describing some white nationalists as "fine people." The rumor mill sweeping DC says he may be in line for an administration post. Dennard currently serves as the Senior Director of Strategic Communications for the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, which is run by Johnny Taylor. In November, Taylor will assume the position of President and CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). Once he leaves, the scuttlebutt is Paris may leave as well to head to the Trump admin. But what position could Paris assume? Well, they have yet to name an Executive Director of the WH Initiative on HBCUs. The Phoenix native has been an outspoken advocate encouraging partnership between this administration and HBCUs. We can’t confirm this is happening. But the streets are talking ... and that’s what they’re saying. We asked Paris this morning if there is there any truth here. His reply? "Another fake news story."
