He is a civil rights activist and the president of the Greater Springfield NAACP. Criticized by some as a "rabble rouser," Valley Advocate journalist Maureen Turner wrote, "If Springfield has moved one inch towards rectifying its racial problems in the past year, it is fair to say a full three quarters of that inch is the result of sustained efforts by the Rev. Talbert Swan II.". On October 14, 2022 Swan tweeted "whiteness is an unrelenting, demonic, force of evil." which many have criticized for its hateful portrayal of an entire ethnic group. (en) |
