NAACP D.C. Branch Celebrates Its Centennial by Tiffany E. Browne (The Crisis p. 46 – 47)
The D.C. NAACP Branch celebrated its centennial with a special dinner honoring the organization’s legacy and its current members that exemplify community stewardship. I had the honor to cover the event for the NAACP’s magazine The Crisis. I have to say I’m proud that I accepted the assignment as I got to be in the same room for the first time ever with civil rights legend and NAACP’s Chairman Emeritus Julian Bond.
Currently I’m not a member, but I feel like I should be. My grandfather (my father’s dad) was an active member. This is only my second assignment with The Crisis, but since my first one and getting to know some of the workings of the D.C. Branch, I feel right at home, especially in discussing some of the issues that affect D.C. and how the NAACP is working to ease or resolve some of those issues; the biggie being D.C.’s autonomy to help us receive full representation on The Hill. However, more groundwork has to done.
