pRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
It is an honor to serve as the President of the Trenton Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the oldest civil rights organization in this nation. I thank the members of this Branch for electing and entrusting me to provide leadership over the Trenton Branch.
I stand on the shoulders of a great legacy of pioneers and leaders in this community, and I humbly accept this important responsibility to uphold the organization’s vision of a society in which all individuals have equal rights without discrimination based on race.
