THE HISTORY OF THE WEST CHESTER, PA BRANCH OF THE NAACP
Since its inception, the NAACP has committed to ensuring the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights for all persons and to eliminating race-based discrimination, through
various programs such as legal defense, educational outreach, and community initiatives such as health care and housing forums.
In the spring of 1919...
a decade after the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) on April 5th, a group of 88 men and women gathered in West Chester, Pennsylvania for the purpose of establishing a local branch. (NAACP).
As World War I came to an end one of the branch's first priority was to form a committee, to meet and interview local political leaders, to advocate that returning veterans "be remembered when patronage was to be distributed."
The West Chester branch has a rich history & relationship with the Charles A. Melton Arts & Education Center, formerly known as the West Chester Community Center.
To this day the branch continues to strive to dismantle systemic barriers and pave the way for a more equitable society.
EDUCATE-EMPOWER-ENGAGE
"Celebrate 365 - Community, Culture, History" campaign moves us beyond celebrating Juneteenth for just one day of the year.
Literacy encompasses abilities beyond
just reading and writing, including digital, financial, health, media, and civic literacy.
Join us as we continue to address these issues and others as we move forward together creating a better tomorrow.
Additional activities and events will be held during the year.
