From the ballot box to the classroom, the dedicated workers, organizers, and leaders who forged this great organization and maintain its status as a champion of social justice, fought long and hard to ensure that the voices of African Americans would be heard. For nearly one hundred years, it has been the talent and tenacity of NAACP members that has saved lives and changed many negative aspects of American society.

Do You Have Problem with The Jefferson City Public School District? Tonight is your night
Forum on issues problematic with the Jefferson City Public Schools ranging from lack of minority hiring, unfair discipline, and bullying of minority students.
Please ask the concerned parents your know to come. We have received a number of complaints from people that do not want to come forward individually based on fear of reprisals. Help the NAACP develop a better awareness of how many people are affected by these issues. We anticipate that a number of people who have filed complaints with the NAACP will attend as well, but will allow each person or family to bring up their own issues.
We have received a number of complaints about the same issues and want to collect more information and share the information we have received from the school board. If you know anyone that could be interested - people with children in the district - please share this information with them.
