New leader vows she’ll bring ‘new generation’ to NAACP
February 22, 2010
By political news check, the recent chairwoman intended for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), in the midst of the aged civil liberties troops in the state, stated Sunday she’ll toil to lead a latest generation into the association.
Roslyn Brock, a health care official as well as ex-NAACP sub-chair, was chosen to pack the seat departed by Julian Bond, a civil liberties person in charge who has got the place from the time of 1998. “I want to get the word out that the NAACP is alive and well, and that we are a multi-cultural, multi-racial organization,” Brock stated on CNN’s “Sunday Morning.”
“It is our goal to extend a broader net, to encourage all Americans who believe in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to come and join us.” One more objective, Brock told, is to make sure that the rules, agendas as well as politics of the NAACP “are relevant to a new generation of human and civil rights activists, and to get young people involved.”
Reported by political news check, Brock has acted in the company of the organization for above 25 years in several positions, counting as a youth board associate as well as president of its Youth and College State Conference, as indicated by the NAACP.
