WELCOME TO THE MONTCLAIR NAACP

HONORING THE LEGACY OF REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

As we pause to reflect upon the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we recommit ourselves to keeping the dream alive. We honor Dr. King not only with words, but with action by attending community events, reading and learning from history, performing acts of service, and showing up for one another. His legacy lives when we choose courage, compassion, and collective responsibility.

We invite you to join us in bridging our community. Become a member of the Montclair NAACP. Participate in our work. Bring a friend, a neighbor, a young person, or a seasoned voice into the fold. Together, we can build a community rooted in justice, strengthened by unity, and guided by purpose.

The Montclair NAACP is committed to uphold the principles of freedom, justice, and equality for all people! Together we can be the change agents we have been looking for-together we THRIVE!
