Easton NAACP Officers Sworn in by Lamont McClure


Easton's NAACP officers visited Northampton County Council during their first meeting of the year on Jan 7. Executive Lamont McClure administered the oath to the officers. They include the following: Lance Wheeler, President; Suzanne Fredericks, Treasurer; David Rose, Secretary; John Robinson, Labor and Industry; Lillian Robinson, Press and Publicity; Charles Dickerson, Finance; Marvin Boyer, Political Action; Kendra Durrah, Youth Advisor; and Teresa Wright-Johnson, Health Chair.

The NAACP branches in the Lehigh Valley's three cities are attempting to attract younger members. Ironically, much of the work done by President Lance Wheeler has been to address instances of overt discrimination at area high schools. In addition, Kendra Durrah has been active with a youth chapter.

Easton's NAACP has also been successful in registering new voters, and is actively courting employers to hire more young persons of color.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
