STEADFAST AND IMMOVABLE

Greetings!

What does it mean to be steadfast and immovable? “Therefore my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:58 ESV)

On behalf of the Campbell County NAACP officers and members, we are pleased to have you join us for our Annual Freedom Fund Banquet. We hope that your evening is pleasant and enjoyable.

For over a century, the NAACP has been one of the nation’s leading champions of civil rights and social justice; working tirelessly to achieve economic equity, with a commitment to attain equality and justice for all.

As a nation, it seems as though history is repeating itself and we find ourselves in a period of unrest. Dr. King once said, “The arc of the moral universe is long but, it bends towards justice.” Justice, a word that has continued to surface in daily conversations, is being enacted by various vocal means of protests throughout the nation. We seem to be engaged in a struggle to protect the gains that we as a people have made during the last fifty years, especially the right to vote. Many people in our community and across America would be affected by this injustice.

The NAACP stands at a pivotal time in history! The NAACP stands ready to challenge efforts to roll back and eliminate policies and programs intended to extend the social safety net to all. Therefore, the tireless work of the NAACP remains relevant today. As the oldest civil rights organization in the world, we would want to be a significant part of the solution as we remain dedicated and committed to the mission of the organization: to ensure the Political, Educational, Social and Economic Equality of Rights of All Persons and to Eliminate Racial Hatred and Racial Discrimination. We remain steadfast in our resolve and immovable from our objective.

Yours in the Struggle,

Reginald Lee Herndon, President

Campbell County NAACP
