Welcome to Hanover Branch of the NAACP |
 |
 |
Today, we face a renewed effort as the
forces of racism and retrogression in America are again on
the rise. Many of the hard-earned civil rights gains of the
past three decades are under assault. |

Miss. Raven Giles Recipient of 72ND ANNUAL STATE
CONVENTION Queen/King Contest
 There
are many people I want to thank for this award.
I want to begin by thanking my parents for taking the time to
help me with the fund raiser, taking me where I need to go, and
encouraging me through it all. I want to thank my Church Family
and friends for all their support, and my little brother for
not bugging me. I also want to thank the Hanover County Branch
NAACP and the Virginia State Conference NAACP for having established
the awards and maintaining them for so many years, giving me this
opportunity. It’s
a wonderful honor to be among the many distinguished
recipient.
 We
are very grateful to Hanover County Branch NAACP and the Virginia
State Conference NAACP. We ’ve been especially
fortunate to work with terrific committees. It’s a group
that is highly professional, that works well together, and that
stays focused on what’s important – the needs of
our community, State, and other issues. We owe special thanks
to my Grandfather the Late Pastor Dr. Bernard S. Giles, who work
closely and continuously with the NAACP to fight for the rights
and Freedom for all. That makes this Awards very special to
us, and opportunity to give back to and origination that has
given so much to so many.
