Vision Now – September 2021

Vision Now Lakeland Branch NAACP

September’s Listen Lakeland Show shares a historical perspective of the Lakeland Branch NAACP (National Association of the Advancement of Colored People) and more importantly, what the organization is doing today to help build bridges within our community.  With a mission of ensuring the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and eliminating race-based discrimination, Rick Maxey, Lakeland Vision, and Terry Coney, President of the Lakeland Branch NAACP, spend time discussing how the organization and its members are fulfilling their goal in the Lakeland community.   Join us today to hear Rick and Terry’s discussion!
