Introduction

I just realized I had not had the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Miranda Amey. I am a Junior at Collegiate High School and am in the U.S History 1302 class. Within my class I have chosen the topic of the NAACP for my local history project because I am very involved with the NAACP, find it very interesting and also I feel it is an often overlooked social organization in Corpus Christi because of the low African American population. My goals within the project are to get interviews with multiple members, find out the impact the NAACP has had on the community, and also to find the out what connections the local chapter has had in other NAACP events nationally.
