NAACP Killeen Branch #6189

So proud of our Youth Council!! During today’s monthly General membership meeting, KDH reporter Daelan Cheh talked to them about Your Voice Is Your Power!
Their assignment- how will you use your voice to advocate for change? Can’t wait to read their essays!

NAACPers “Stuffing the Bus” for CCISD at Cove Walmart.

Recap of the many faces of Impact at the NAACP Back to School Rally on Saturday, August 1!

August 5, 2023, history took a seat and then picked one up.

On the Montgomery Riverfront, ordinary people did extraordinary things, and one humble folding chair earned a permanent place in the Black Cultural Hall of Fame.

What began as an act of injustice, signaled by a single white cap, became a global reminder that when our community answers the call, we answer together for the historical event formally known as “Fade In The Water.”

We honor the courage of those who stood up, swam across that water, and squared up for justice!

Because as the song reminds us, a chair is still a chair, even when it's swung, and no one is sitting there.

Happy Chairteenth!

Thankful for NAACP members Teresa and Fred Chavez. They will be delivering our donation of school supplies to the Stuff the Bus event this weekend for Copperas Cove ISD students.

Thank you to EVERYONE!!! 👏🏾
