President's Corner  

Greetings Brothers and Sisters, 

I am honored to serve as the President of the Greater Huachuca Area Branch NAACP.  Our  mission is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights for all people and to eliminate racial hatred and discrimination. I and the members of this Branch have been assigned the responsibility of carrying on the legacy that the NAACP is nationally known for. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit.  We need to stand tall and unrelenting in the face of hostility; stand for what we believe in and lend support to making freedom a reality for all while pursuing equality and better opportunities for all members of our community. Each and every NAACP member makes a difference in the complex, ongoing work of advancing racial equity and we look forward to continuing this work in our community.
