PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

As we embark on our centennial anniversary of the founding of the NAACP, I invite you to search within the pages of this site to read not only of our tremendous history, but to join us as we continue to change our communities and redefine the future.

From the ballot box to the classroom, the NAACP Lake Elisnore/Southwest Riverside County Branch has helped many residents deal with adverse situations in employment discrimination, law enforcement issues and educational issues. We seek not only procedural justice, but a substantive, deeper form of justice that derives from the very spirit upon which this great country was founded.

The legacy of pioneers such as W.E.B. DuBois, Thurgood Marshall and Martin Luther King, Jr. as well as the hundreds of thousands of nameless faces who worked tirelessly to fight for the advancement of minority groups cannot and must not be forgotten. While much of the history of the NAACP is chronicled in books, articles and magazines, the true movement lies in the faces - multicultural faces - united to awaken the conscientiousness of a people and a nation.

I encourage you to seek membership, help us make our centennial mark in the never-ending battle for the "Fight for Freedom."
