It is a pleasure to report that the NAACP New York State Conference 75th Annual Convention was most successful. A record number of some 600 delegates, supporters and friends gathered at the Westin Times Square Hotel & Conference Center to participate and celebrate the Diamond Anniversary.
The entire weekend was rewarding, inspiring and educational. We proudly noted our past accomplishments, acquired new information, new skills and techniques while focusing on planning and effectively working to achieve essential goals for the future.
Join us on Saturday, December 10th—The United Nations' Human Rights Day—to proclaim to America and the world:
It's time to Stand for Freedom. We must protect our right to vote.

When the NAACP took the lead in pursuing Brown v. Board of Education more than half a century ago, we had one goal in mind - to end the policies that created separate and unequal schools in too many places across the United States, and to help ensure that all children had equal access to a quality public education.
LIFTED is a program that reflects the essence of hope, positive advancement and parental engagement - success for every child.
LIFTED strengthens, Informs and en-courages partnerships between home, school and community.

NEW YORK STATE NAACP PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
NAACP New York State Conference Celebrates 75 Years! We Still Achieve Because We Are Resilient!
We will not soon forget 2010. Globally, nationally and personally; the past year presented highs and lows, victories and defeats, but we managed to continue our Associations goals and mission.
I want to express our sincere gratitude to the Officers, Regional Directors and Committee Chairman for your unrelenting efforts in the disseminating of information and materials provided to the branches. For being proactive in addressing the critical issues in education, health, civic engagement and criminal justice. For the overwhelming participation in the 2010 One Nation Rally.
This January 2011 the political landscape changed at the federal, state and local levels; so it is time for us to prepare for the difficult decisions that will come, as deficits are higher and elected officials will undoubtedly propose drastic cuts that will affect our communities – we must remain vigilant, committed and dedicated advocates for equal justice and human rights.
As we face this our 75TH Anniversary Year, let us reflect on past lessons and embrace new beginnings. Let us not fear new challenges and new adventures. Instead, let them embolden us!
