NAACP:
Power, Justice, Freedom, VOTE!Excitement continues to grow as the NAACP heads toward its 99th Annual Convention, being held July 12-17 in Cincinnati, just months ahead of its centennial celebration. Themed “Power, Justice, Freedom, Vote,” this year’s annual gathering of more than 8,000 NAACP members, delegates and visitors will be held at the Duke Energy Center and kicks-off a series of events leading up to the association’s centennial Feb. 12, 2009.
“This year’s convention is a culmination and celebration of all the NAACP represents,” said National Board of Directors Vice Chair and Convention Planning Committee Chair Roslyn M. Brock. “As we approach the next century of social justice activism, we remain empowered and committed to a progressive agenda that demands fairness and prosperity for all. The convention’s offerings underscore the point that we all must be engaged in that effort and that the NAACP has a place for everyone and every lifestyle.”
As always, the convention offers participants access to a stellar array of speakers, officials, entertainers and information. Among many highlights, NAACPers and guests will hear from candidates seeking their party’s nomination for the 2008 presidential election. Candidates from each party will participate in separate functions the mornings of July 16 and 17.
