Taking the helm of the NAACP: the ever-ready Evers-Williams

Article Abstract:

Myrlie Evers-Williams, the new chairwoman of NAACP, is a known civil rights activist whose husband was killed by a white supremacist. The lady whose 30-year fight saw the killer being punished is a determined person. She resolves to attain the goals of NAACP with the the help of its branches and members. Her priority will be to save affirmative action from being scrapped and to keep up the fight for poor people specially African-Americans. Although NAACP is faced with internal problems that are mainly financial, she hopes to succeed with the broad-based support within and outside the organization.
