#repost naacp Today, it is with heavy hearts that we mourn the loss of Dr. Hazel N. Dukes, President of the NAACP New York State Conference and Member of the NAACP National Board of Directors. A bold and courageous warrior for civil rights and social justice. Her voice in the fight for justice will be missed. But we will continue to be influenced by its echo as we fight for that cause. Dr. Dukes was one of the giants on whose shoulders we will continue to stand as we continue to do God’s work here on earth. #RestInPower A link to our official statement can be found in the bio.
