Our Mission
The mission of the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic
equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racialdiscrimination.
The mission of the NAACP Youth & College Division shall be to
inform youth of the problems affecting African Americans and other racial
and ethnic minorities; to advance the economic, education, social and
political status of
African Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities and their
harmonious cooperation with other peoples; to stimulate an appreciation of
the African Diaspora and other people of colors contribution to civiliza-
tion; and to develop an intelligent, militant effective youth leadership.
Our History and Purpose of Event For 100 years, the NAACP built and grew on the collective courage
of thousands of people. People of all races, nationalities and faiths united
on one premisethat all men and women are created equal. From the bal-
lot box to the boardroom and onto college campuses, the NAACP has been
the leading organization in the ght for civil rights and social justice. They
have involved everyone from school children to laborers to professionals topresidents to just ordinary men and women, and students who decided to
champion whats right and just. The nations oldest civil rights organization
has changed Americas history and will continue to do so in the years ahead.
The purpose of this event is to celebrate the signicant role the or-
ganization has played in leading social change in America. At the NAACP,
weve been working for 100 years to make this moment possible. From
Brown v. Board of Education to Rosa Parks to President Barack Obama,
courage and hard work have set the stage for victories that many of us
thought wed never see. So today we celebrate those collective victories as
a people and hold on to the belief that we can anticipate many more in our
future.

President Address
Executive Board 2008-2009
The Executive Board and members of the National Association forthe Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Buffalo Youth and College
Chapter would like to welcome you to our First Centennial Banquet. We are
very excited that all of you have come to commemorate with us on this very
special night. NAACP was founded One hundred years ago and since then
minorities have been able to overcome many obstacles with the help of the
NAACP.
In 1999 the youth and college chapter was founded at the Universityof Buffalo. Since then we have grown. At rst we were a club ghting for
membership and the spotlight. We have expanded many programs. We have
been able to educate and entertain our college peers at the same time. Over
the past two years we have received POC club of the year. We are celebrat-
ing 100 years, which means everything is being done bigger and better than
the previous years. I am very fortunate and honored to be president this
year. I started as an activities coordinator and have earned my way to be-ing president over the past 3 years. This has not been an easy ride, but with
the help of the past and present executive board members before me I have
had some type of guidance. They paved the way for me and thanks to them
I have been able to expand and make NAACP bigger and better than ever
before. Nothing would be possible without devoted members. The members
who have stuck by us when administration was giving us a hard time are the
reasons we are here today. The motto I follow each day is What doesntkill you only makes you stronger. A great man once said The ultimate
measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where
he stands at times of challenge and controversy (Martin Luther King Jr.). I
have obtained the skills to overcome many challenges and my goal in life is
to give people the skills that they need to overcome similar challenges. One
hundred years strong and we cant be stopped. We came, we saw and we are
still conquering. NAACP will never become complacent. We know there is
always work to be done and for the next One hundred years we will con-
tinue to work, especially for our youth. Our vision is to help develop a new
generation of leaders. NAACP has made a leader out of me, and for that I
am very grateful. I hope everyone has a swell night and enjoy themselves as
we celebrate.

Kimberly K. Lindo, Vice-President
Upon joining the Executive Board for the 2008-2009 academic
year, I thought this opportunity would be just a hobby, an extracurricular
activity. A year later Im beginning to realize that I stumbled on my pur-
pose. Not just my personal purpose, but what I believe to be the purposeof human beings as a whole. On a college campus, some of us may feel we
dont have the ability to touch as many people as we think may be suf-
cient in order to generate change. I beg to differ. Mahatma Gandhi said:
Be the change you want to see in the world. The movement towards cre-
ating a better world didnt start with us and it wont end with us, but while
were here we should make the most of it. So be seless and serve, expect-
ing nothing in return, be bold and courageous unafraid of being different,do something that will be remembered long after you are not and most
importantly, do your part to leave your mark. For those that are involved
with student organizations or outside community clubs, political clubs
and other endeavors, from the NAACP at UB Youth and College Chapter,
we commend you for your dedication and encourage you to continue and
strive towards excellence.
Freddy Guerrero, Treasurer
Success and failure. We think of them as opposites, but theyre really not. Their
companions, with every failure comes success in life.
CathelineJean-Mary,Secretary
When one door closes another opens. But often we look so long so regretfully
upon the closed door that we fail to see the one that has
opened for us.
CassandraBowens,ActivitiesCoordinator
Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and
make a new ending.
