The historical roots of the NAACP and churches have been entwined and grown together for the social, spiritual, and educational progress of African-Americans. It is with excitement that this strong bond will be continued in Spartanburg County. We look forward to engaging in church partnerships that will address the issues of social justice, family empowerment, and the unique concerns of African-American men and youth.
Our plan will be to address issues through conferences, workshops, and community forums. Additionally, we will be hosting an annual NAACP Religious Community Day to further strengthen the communication, advocacy, and social activism in Spartanburg County and surrounding areas.
