Week 1

Okay, so the first week week of my project I was so excited to like interview members and like learn more about an organization my family has  been involved with all my life and theirs too. One thing I know I want to get done is an interview with Terry Mills, the current president of the NAACP. My dad has known him for a really long time and they are kind of buds so I don't think that will be an issue. Right now I don't know who else. I recently went to democratic clerk training for the elections and I met Joel Mumphord and apparently well according to my dad, Mr. Mumphord was the president for two terms and he says that him and his mother are probably the knowledgeable about this topic. So, I asked Mr, Mumphord for his card and I am going to try and make an appointment to just interview him real quick. I also hope I can talk to his mom. My mom took me to heritage park to go visit the little Martin house which is headquarters for the NAACP.

It was closed and has no hours listed and the phone goes straight to not even voice mail but this voice asking me for a password. I hope I will get to go inside, but it looks like I don't really know if I will able to. I have been there before but not to like look through their papers and stuff. I also went on their website and they have NO information at all. They don't even have the mission statement or hours they are open which is weird. I emailed them to ask for members willing to interview. Still no response.
