Reverend Hope, National Director of Religious Affairs for the National Office of the NAACP, is in town to hear the Cincinnati Mass Choir that will be singing at the NAACP National Convention July 12-18.  The choir is a very important part of the success of the National Convention.  The African-American Church has always been a major part of the NAACP.  Reverend Hope selected Joel Davis as Director of Music for the National Convention two weeks ago.  He has returned to Cincinnati to evaluate the progress of the choir.  The Executive Committee and Members of the NAACP are very proud of each of our choir members and we wish them continued success.

All Media, Executive Committee Members and Members of the Cincinnati NAACP are invited to New Friendship Baptist Church at 6:00 PM to get a “taste” of how the Cincinnati Choir will represent our city in July. New Friendship Baptist Church is located at 3212 Reading Road.  The pastor of New Friendship Baptist Church is Dr. Harvey.  The Cincinnati NAACP continues to thank New Friendship Baptist Church for opening their doors for our choir.  Smitherman says, “There is no question that the Cincinnati Branch wants bragging rights after our choir performs at the National Convention.  We have all the confidence in the world in our Cincinnati native Joel Davis, Music Director.” For more information please contact the Cincinnati NAACP at 513-281-1900.
