I am honored to have received my plaque recognizing my Lifetime Membership with the NAACP! For many years, I have worked to uphold the mission of this historic organization — serving youth, adults, and the community at large. This recognition is not just a milestone, but a reminder of the work still ahead.

Have you been to Nicodemus? It's historic because it was an all black town years ago, and they have been celebrating who they are for years.

It's almost here! The Homecoming Emancipation Celebration is this week starting on Thursday!

Come join the fun with music, food, games, a parade and so much more and these events are open to the public.

This year will be the 147th anniversary of the Nicodemus Homecoming, the celebration is hosted by The Nicodemus Homecoming Emancipation Celebration LLC, and the National Park Service is excited to participate in the weekend of events.

The Township Hall will be used for different events throughout the weekend on top of being open as a visitor center, so keep in mind that typical National Park Service visitor services such as tours and viewing the park films may be limited.

Remember to come on down to Nicodemus Thursday July 24th through Sunday July 27th to be a part of this wonderful celebration.

For more information and the tentative schedule of events visit the website for The Nicodemus Homecoming Emancipation Celebration LLC,

Recently we attended the National NAACP Convention in Charlotte. I am so honored to have been chosen as secretary of our Region and also a member of the National Resolutions Committee. Wichita had 4 people to attend and we hope for more next July in Chicago. It's quite a deal with about 1,500 in attendance and strong messages for us to bring home.
