Yesterday afternoon I attended a program put on by the Rock Island County chapter of the NAACP to celebrate the Centennial of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which took place at Broadway Presbyterian Church in Rock Island. It was a fine event with inspirational preaching by Rev. P W Harris along with exceptional music.
I learned something about the history of the organization and was pleased to have a small part in the service. It is critical to remember how important faith and the churches have been in struggle for human rights for African American people.
