| David and Goliath. Tiananmen Square. Elizabeth
Eckford, of the Little Rock Nine, against an angry mob and the
National Guard. In every social revolution, the youth of
society has always played the defining role in a community's
struggle for freedom and equality. In keeping with that
tradition, the NAACP Youth & College divisions transform
bright and eager idealists into effective community leaders and
heroes. Its undying mission is to nurture leadership skills in
ordinary people in the faith that they will rise to
extraordinary challenges and become beacons to others who
Choose Freedom.
In addition to guiding our young
people to uplift their community, we also help them to empower
themselves through a college education. Without a weapon there
can be no revolution, and what better weapon can there be to
fight ignorance and prejudice than the human mind? The Dallas
NAACP Youth Council hosts several events throughout the year
that address issues in education, health awareness, political
empowerment and leadership development. The Dallas Youth
Council enjoys a proud legacy of producing some of the nation’s
finest leaders.
