WELCOME TO ST. LOUIS
​CITY BRANCH NAACP

First let me say welcome to the St. Louis City Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people (The St. Louis City NAACP). In the time between the chartering of the St. Louis City Branch of the NAACP in 1913 and the present; our Nation, State, and the St. Louis Region have undergone profound changes in the ways people of color are discriminated against; and our methods & effectiveness to eliminate such.  

Any careful analysis of where things stand today would point towards an explosion of hate, bias, and extremism raining down from a fridge of our society utilizing social-media and related technologies as the weapon of choice…challenging the values of equity and inclusion. 

The St. Louis City Branch has a rich history of fostering imaginative solutions and providing survival kits to utilize in our daily lives against the personal encounters from those who wish to harm, hamper, and eliminate progress towards a more perfect Union. The St. Louis City NAACP has continually met all those challenges and remained at the ready with a vigilant eye and a Civil Rights resolve.  Our successes are a reflection of our partnerships, our collective experiences, and more importantly the support of our members and those who believe in our cause.

Welcome to the web site of the St. Louis NAACP. The St. Louis City NAACP celebrated its Centennial Anniversary. In the mist of all the glory and splendor, the room had a significant void - most of our membership could not afford to attend. We have not done a similar event since.

A Sunshine Paradigm Production in association
​with St. Louis City NAACP INTENTION with Byron DeLear

I'm very excited today to bring you a very special voice – a special episode of Intention. Now, for my listeners and viewers, I know there’s been quite a bit of time between episodes, this is because of other commitments. So, I just want you to know I appreciate your loyalty and patience – I’d like to think it’s about quality, not quantity.

Well, you’re in for a treat with this one. Last February, I helped organize and was honored to speak at the St. Louis City NAACP’s Civil Rights Conference; and now, in partnership with the NAACP, we bring you a poignant and moving talk by one of the nation’s finest legal minds, Debo Adegbile.

But this speech is not lawyerly, no — this presentation is an emotional tour-de-force through the history of American Civil Rights, and if you’re listening to the audio-only podcast, please take the time to pull up our YouTube Channel and see the short film that accompanies the talk.

You’ll also hear from my dear friend Adolphus Pruitt, President of the St. Louis City NAACP, sharing the impactful and momentous history of the St. Louis Chapter of our nation’s largest and most widely recognized civil rights organization. This episode was a labor of love and I hope you enjoy this as much as I did in pulling it together.
