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. The NAACP was one of the forty-two original organizations appointed by the U.S. State Department under the direction of President Harry S. Truman to advise the U.S. Delegation to the United Nations Conference on International Organization (UNCIO) from April - June 1945. This conference was attended by 50 allied nations, including the United States, and resulted in the finalization and signing of the United Nations Charter (June 26, 1945) - creating the United Nations. At the end of World War II and at one of the most historic moments in world history, the NAACP was at the table. 

In the years since the formation of the United Nations, the NAACP has been a strong advocate at the United Nations on behalf of African Americans and all people of color here at home, including through a historic petition submitted to the UN in 1947 by our Co-Founder Dr. W.E.B. Dubois. The NAACP has also officially recognized the United Nations International Decade for People of African Descent.

I am a proud member of the NAACP, and I am proud to work alongside fellow members to ensure civil and human rights protections for Black people and all people of color in the United States."
