Our national history
The Legacy of the NAACP
Founded in 1909 in response to the ongoing violence against Black people around the country, the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) is the largest and most pre-eminent civil rights organization in the nation.
We have over 2,200 units and branches across the nation, along with well over 2M activists. Our mission is to secure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights in order to eliminate race-based discrimination and ensure the health and well-being of all persons.

What inspired you to join the Macomb County NAACP? "As an international human rights advocate and United Nations Fellow, I joined the NAACP not only because of the legacy of its work to advance civil and human rights here at home, but also its historic work at the international level as well.
Interests: Civil Rights, Education, and Families
What inspired you to join the Macomb County NAACP? "African Americans are under attack in this country. Policies need to be changed, people in power need to be held accountable, and our communities need to be restored. I take pride in not only continuing a family legacy by being an active member, but I know that there is power in numbers and there is work to be done."
Interests: Civil Rights, Human Rights, Education, and Advocacy
What inspired you to join the Macomb County NAACP? "With the nation-wide effort by extremists to get rid of books and curriculum that are diverse and historically robust, I have made it my mission to stand up and fight to preserve diversity and equity for our children. I know that NAACP feels strongly about this as well, so I wanted to team up and work together, to become part of the NAACP."
