May General Membership Meeting
Honoring Legacy, Leadership, and Civil Rights History
Join the Fairfax County NAACP on Tuesday, May 26 at 7 PM for our upcoming General Membership Meeting as we celebrate service, legacy, and the power of collective action.
This month, we are proud to recognize Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, Alpha Beta Alpha Omega Chapter as the winner of the Fairfax County NAACP’s 3rd Annual BGLO Legacy Membership Challenge.
The challenge was created to strengthen support for the NAACP’s strategic priorities while honoring the longstanding impact of Black Greek-letter organizations and their commitment to service in our communities. We are grateful for Alpha Beta Alpha Omega Chapter’s partnership and dedication as we continue working together to make Fairfax County a better place to live, work, and thrive.
We will also hear from our very own Mike O’Brien, Secretary of the Fairfax County NAACP branch, as he discusses his latest book, The Tougaloo Nine: The Jackson Library Sit-In at the Crossroads of Civil War and Civil Rights. Released in November 2025, the book recently received the Mississippi Historical Society Book of the Year Award for 2026.
The book tells the compelling story of the first student-led civil rights demonstration in Mississippi in 1961 and its connection to the state’s Confederate centennial celebration during the 100th anniversary of secession. It also highlights the role of the national NAACP in supporting the students and Mississippi NAACP Field Secretary Medgar Evers during this pivotal moment in civil rights history.
We hope you will join us for this meaningful evening of recognition, reflection, and community.
