New Jersey City NAACP branch President Charles Mainor, seen in a Jersey Journal file photo, will host the branch's first general membership meeting in more than two and a half years Tuesday.The Jersey City chapter of the NAACP will hold its first membership meeting in more than two and half years Tuesday, newly appointed leaders of the local branch said.
The chapter was reinstated earlier this year when former Jersey City Detective and Assemblyman Charles Mainor was named acting presidents of the chapter. In September, Mainor was installed as president, Qaadia Roberts as first vice president, Floyd Jeter as second vice president, Hikeem Washington as treasurer and Sade Benton as secretary.
The meeting is “for all those who are interested in becoming a new member or renewing their previous membership,” a flier for the meeting says. The installation of officers and the first membership meeting come ahead of the Oct. 18 groundbreaking on the remediation of Liberty State Park’s interior and public meeting after, as well as the finalization of the state Department of Environmental Protection’s Liberty State Park advisory task force.
