Last week, Michael Teasley who served as the president of the NAACP chapter at Jackson State University passed away.
He was only 40 years old.
Mr. Teasley made national news and created a small uproar in 2010 when he became the first white President to lead a chapter of the historic group at a HBCU.
But Mr. Teasley didn't allow those small-minded people to stop him from doing his job.
He understood the history of the NAACP.
He understood that blacks AND non-blacks-likeViola Liuzzo, Andrew Chaney, Michael Schwerner and others-gave their lives to make sure you and I could have the freedoms we have today.
Thank you for your dedication and service to the cause Mr. Teasley.
May you rest in peace.
