For Culture, For Community
President Barry Jefferson
WELCOME
Welcome to the Arkansas State Conference NAACP under the leadership of President Barry Jefferson. Our mission has remained unchanged since our founding in 1909. We are here to lead a community of activists to advocate for the civil rights of people of color. People of color deserve equal treatment in the workforce, economics, education, politics, health, and society. We have a rich heritage. Our ancestors lost their lives in a struggling society, but now we fight to keep our place of freedom in a FREE SOCIETY.
We believe everyone should be treated with the same fairness and justice and be empowered to participate in all social, cultural, and economic aspects of life.
Everything we initiate and accomplish is to result in a more THRIVING community of minority individuals and their families.
The Mission
Our mission is to achieve equity, political rights, and social inclusion by advancing policies and practices that expand human and civil rights, eliminate discrimination, and accelerate the well-being, education, and economic security of Black people and all persons of color.
The Vision
We envision an inclusive community rooted in liberation where all persons can exercise their civil and human rights without discrimination.
WE NEED YOU IN THE ARKANSAS
FIGHT FOR JUSTICE.
WE LEAD THE WAY FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW!
