2010 Nominating Committee - Milwaukee Branch of the NAACP

WELCOME!

This website was created on September 28, 2010.

It is committed to transparency, best practices, customer care, truth-telling and Accountability.

It was created for the purpose of honoring the NAACP brand, fighting for "human" and "civil rights".

Mary Glass, the Creator of this site, was Suspended as a Member of the NAACP on November 1, 2010, after 83 days of membership. She was suspended on "trumped-up" and "misrepresented" charges.

She was the "elected" Secretary of the 2010 Nominating Committee for the Milwaukee Branch of the NAACP Election.

We feel it is an honor to serve the tenets of the civil rights and human rights movement . We also feel that the NAACP has failed in its commitment to its Membership by the issues mentioned on this website.

We abhor cover-up, malfeasance, misfeasance, arrogance and misuse of power, desecration of the brand name of civil rights and human rights that was found at our local level during the administration of President Jerry Ann Hamilton - Milwaukee, places like Houma, LA, St. Petersbury, FL, Boston, MA and at the national level; no matter who you are.

This is especially true of the NAACP - A brand that represents blood, sweat, tears, dreams deferred and death.

Therefore, OPERATION RE-BOOT, Accountability Matters - "getting-its-house-in-order" is a priority.

ALL HANDS on DECK, WE, Not Me

My office calls for and will actively work to ensure that the NAACP elected-appointed-hired representatives "lead-by-example" with "principle-centered" leadership.

I ask that you JOIN US by letting us know of abnormalities YOU and/or others have encountered through the wrongful Election, Membership Suspension, Expulsion and Article X process; as well as, electorial interferences, financial irregularies, corporate sponsors, Freedom Fund Dinners and other suspicious practices that usurp the rights of the paid members of the NAACP and those they represent as a race.

Ms. Rosa's Day - A Lady Who Said NO, Not Me Sir


Fifty-five (55) years ago, December 1, 1955, Ms. Rosa Louise McCauley Parks, in the southern city-state of Montgomery, AL said, NO, Not Me Sir to public transit bus driver James Blake, when he asked that she give her seat to a Caucasian passenger.  Whereas she was not the first to refuse and challenge in court; she was the first to spark a boycott. 

Her refusal to give up the seat resulted in her arrest.
Her arrest sparked the 1 year and 19 days (December 1, 1955-December 20, 1956), Montgomery Bus Boycott.  It was a tense fight of resistance by the African American population in Montgomery. 

Since African Americans were the bulk of the ridership, their refusal to ride the public transit bus crippled the financial viability of the Mongomery Transit Bus system.  The People's solidarity led to wins in Browder v. Gayle case and then to the U.S. Supreme Court decision that declared the Alabama and Montgomery laws requiring segregated buses to be unconstitutional.

At the time of the civil disobedience, she was a Seamtress at a local department store and Secretary of the local NAACP - National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Ms. Rosa (February 4, 1913 – October 24, 2005) was called "the first lady of civil rights", and "the mother of the freedom movement" by the U.S. Congress.

So, when I think of how her decision to not move but stand up for her rights - "not be discriminated" against; I realize the significance of someone always taking a stand, even if it is ONE.

Her refusal led to African Americans being "untrapped" as a race, by law, to segregation and discrimination on the public transit system.

MPA honors Mrs. Rosa Louise McClauley Parks today and always.
Thanks Ms. Rosa!
