(July 20) -- After edited portions of a speech delivered by Shirley Sherrod were posted to Andrew Breitbart's conservative website, Big Government, Sherrod was forced to resign from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

But the story didn't end there. Late today, the NAACP said it reviewed the entire video of Sherrod's speech and retracted its criticism of her. Now the civil rights organization has posted that video on YouTube, and Surge Desk is happy to pass it along.
