Although the NAACP has helped to improve the lives of minorities for nearly 100 years, the struggle continues. We continue to strive for equality in our schools, in our communities, and in our workplace. The strength of our community is reflected through sharing resources and building alliances. Our branch continues to serve the community by holding public educational events on African-American history, health care, and partnering with local organizations and businesses on community-wide events, such as the Trail to Freedom and National Night Out.  The Stafford NAACP Branch understands that we can achieve more collectively than we can as individuals. Our Community Resource page includes Job Announcements and links to other community organizations also committed to making a difference through empowering our communities.

The Trail to Freedom was initiated in 2009 by the Fredericksburg-Stafford-Spotsylvania Sesquicentennial Committee in an effort to commemorate and interpret the experiences of more than 10,000 slaves who passed through this region between April and September 1862.  Presently, the Trail to Freedom encompasses sites in the City of Fredericksburg and Stafford County, Virginia.  This region is located midway between Washington, D.C, and Richmond, Virginia.  To learn more information about the Trail to Freedom, please visit their website www.TrailtoFreedom.com.
