NAACP

Salisbury, MD …Safe Spaces trainer, Diamond Brown, will be the guest speaker for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Wicomico County Branch monthly meeting on Thursday, May 23 at 7:00 P.M. This meeting will be held at Chipman Cultural Center, 325 Broad Street, Salisbury, MD.

It’s been said that harm against one of us is harm against humanity. Sadly, prejudice comes in many forms and it is the responsibility of the NAACP to reach out and support all segments of the community where we can. Ms. Brown will give a presentation about challenges faced by members of the LGBTQ community. In addition, PFLAG Salisbury’s efforts to address these needs and build community supports for LGBTQ people in the Salisbury area will be highlighted, as well as ways to get involved.
