NAACP Branch Seeks New Members
The Inglewood-South Bay branch of the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People is seeking community leaders and corporate sponsors to join the branch.
The area covered by the branch includes Inglewood, Torrance, Gardena, Lawndale, Rolling Hills, Hawthorne, Westchester, El Segundo, Lomita, Hermonsa Beach, Rancho Palos Verdes, Lennox and Harbor City.
Members of churches, parent-teacher associations, Neighborhood Watch, homeowners associations, chambers of commerece, Kiwanis, youth organizations, YMCA, YWCA or other groups are invited to join.
Members of other ethnic groups attempting to deal with some of the same problems facing the African-American community are particularly sought. These include Americans of Latino, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Caribbean, Indian, East and West European and American Indian descent, and others.
The broader-based membership would help the NAACP to work with other community organizations to improve human rights, address civil rights issues, stimulate community development, expand educational and career opportunities for youth, and get more senior citizens and handicapped residents involved with community development projects.
Interested individuals and organizations should contact Andrew Williams, membership chairman for the NAACP’s Inglewood-South Bay branch by writing to PO Box 8162, Inglewood 90301 or calling 671-7838 or 939-9623.
