The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, usually abbreviated as NAACP
is one of the oldest and most influential civil rights organizations in the United States. Its mission is "to ensure
the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial
discrimination". Its name, retained in accordance with tradition, is one of the last surviving uses of the term colored
people.
The NAACP bestows the annual Image Awards for achievement in the arts and entertainment, and the annual
Spingarn Medals for outstanding positive achievement of any kind, on deserving African Americans. It has its headquarters
in Baltimore, Maryland.
For 101 years the NAACP has been conscience of our nation. We have stood
on the front lines helping America live up to its promise of equality and Justice for all. With that said, we would
be honored to have you join our Branch celebration of our 59th year of existence. Please grace us with your presence
on October 2, 2010 at the Knights of Columbus, 1492 Woodbourne Road, Levittown, PA at 6:00PM to present you with the
NAACP Community Service Award. This award is in recognition of working with community groups to promote peace and a
positive interaction with youth for a brighter future.
