New Georgia NAACP Lays Out Goals
University of North Georgia
The new president of the NAACP’s Georgia chapter is laying out his goals for the organization.
At 34, Francys Johnson is the youngest president in the organization’s history. Johnson is a Statesboro civil rights attorney and pastor. He says some of the areas the Georgia NAACP will focus on include: economic stability, voting rights and a free and quality education for all of Georgia’s children.
“These are the game changers for the 21st century. These are the areas that will finish the work the NAACP started over a century ago in terms of making sure the promises of America are realized for every single Georgian.”
Johnson also hopes to form more partnerships.
“The NAACP has no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, we have only have permanent issues, so in that regard I’m looking for partners in state government, republicans, democrats and independents, all who want to move Georgia forward.”
Johnson replaces Edward DuBose who served as president for eight years.
