I had the extreme pleasure of interviewing a great woman Catherine Hicks as she assumes her new role as President of The Philly Chapter of The NAACP.
“Philadelphia’s African American community has had a lot on its plate over the last year or so.
From a global pandemic that hit the Black community like a freight train, to a wave of gun violence that’s killed 309 people in 2021 as of press time, to attacks on the right to vote coming from Harrisburg at the behest of the former president of the UnitedStates, Philadelphia’s Black community has been dealing with a host of issues that would normally be handled by its chapter of the NAACP.
This month Catherine Hicks @thesunpublisher , became the new president of the Philadelphia NAACP. Hicks, the publisher of the Philadelphia Sunday SUN @philadelphiasundaysun , is the second woman in the chapter’s history to hold the job. Gladys Reese was the first.
Eight other officers and 18 executive board members were also installed at the swearing-in ceremony at West Oak Lane’s Mount Airy Church of God in Christ.” (PS/TM)
