(EMPIRE NEWS NETWORK—ENN)— Compton NAACP President Paulette Simpson Gipson continues to make black history, as well as history as a woman. Gipson was sworn in to another term as president on February 16 at the Compton Airport.
A decade ago Gipson made history as the first woman elected to lead the Compton NAACP and has done an excellent job while in office. The reality is when you hear the NAACP name mentioned locally it’s often because of Gipson, who continues to be a consistent civil rights leader in our community.
Her leadership in the NAACP is especially critical at a time when the LA NAACP has been dormant and useless to our community for the past two years. This wasn’t always the case.
