Bill > HJR168

This resolution commends the Stafford County Branch of the NAACP, a local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a prominent civil rights organization, as it approaches its 70th anniversary in 2026. Established in 1956, the branch has been dedicated to achieving political, educational, social, and economic equality for all people and eliminating racial discrimination, as exemplified by its participation in community events like Juneteenth celebrations and its work through the Women in the NAACP (WIN) Committee to empower women leaders. The resolution acknowledges the leadership of its current president, Yolanda Roussell, and expresses admiration for the organization's positive and lasting impact on the Stafford County community and the Commonwealth of Virginia.
