The Lake County Ohio NAACP Branch was formed in 1958

Goal:  Establishing justice, equality and equity for underserved and oppressed populations in our community. 

Goal Met?   There has been progress in legislation, but, legislation does not change opinions and beliefs.  At best, it suppresses open expression of prejudicial opinions.

The knowledge that there is one human race is an awareness that is increasing, but the inequities created by historic prejudices built into policies and systems must be dealt with.

So Now What?

We continue to work toward the achievement of our objectives:

– increase awareness that mankind is a single species and that race is a man made construct

– strive to improve the quality of education for underserved populations

– seek solutions to unemployment and underemployment of underserved populations

– increase awareness of injustices and inequities that exist

 – educate and influence to establish just and equitable laws and policies

– connect and collaborate with like minded organizations to bring greater strength to our efforts

– provide opportunities for informal interaction, networking and relationship building of diverse populations
