Rev. Heber C. Jentzsch, President of the Church of Scientology International, was honoured on April 26 by the NAACP for his decades of support and contributions to the African-American community.
In the presence of NAACP national board members, Regional Director Ernestine Peters and 300 NAACP leaders and members attending the NAACP Western Regional Conference, Rev. Jentzsch accepted the Roy Wilkins Outstanding Leadership award for the Church's work to establish and defend human rights.
He also accepted an award which came as a surprise to nearly all in the audience--one named after an NAACP co-founder who pioneered in the association’s work to bring equality and end human rights abuses. “This next award goes to the man behind this all,” said Ms. Peters, "a man who has made this all possible. A man who has done so much around the world to help our people and all people in all areas of life, all over the world. He is a true humanitarian who has forwarded literacy, education and civilization. I am very proud to present the NAACP Doctor W.E.B. Du Bois Outstanding Leadership Award to the late L. Ron Hubbard."
Rev. Jentzsch received the award on Mr. Hubbard’s behalf. In his acceptance speech, Rev. Jentzsch stressed the importance of literacy as a solution to crime, drugs and moral decay, “which are the fertile ground for racism, conflict and the destruction of human rights.”
