This was the NAACP Florida State Quarterly Conference and Officer Training, Membership Luncheon.    We took part in the press conference that presented the NAACP’s response to Ron DeSantis’ statement refusing the Black History AP class and the beating and death of Tyre Nichols.    After the luncheon, we spent 3 hours in training sessions that detailed our responsibilities as officers of an NAACP Branch.  Seated from left to right in the first photo: Adolphus Evans, Sonia White, Dr. Phyllis Pearson, Gail Danhoff, and Merritt Robertson.  Added to the second photo is John White because he was not in the first photo because he took the first photo.
