civil rights that is being produced by Bowie State University (BSU) in
Maryland. The first reading of the play was held at The Kennedy Center on

We extend our thanks to all of our grassroots activists and supporters for
your help with making our educational campaign so successful over the past
five years. We greatly appreciate your continued hard work as we move forth
with our mission of enlightening our fellow citizens about the rich civil
rights legacy and principles of the Republican Party so that we can return
African Americans to their Republican Party roots.

NBRA’s 5th Anniversary

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

 

NBRA FIFTH ANNIVERSARY

NBRA Fifth Anniversary – This year, we are commemorating the fifth anniversary of the National Black Republican Association (NBRA) that was organized as an all-volunteer group of grassroots activists with an education mission and a focus on recapturing the rich civil rights legacy of the Republican Party.

Since the inception of the NBRA on August 15, 2005, we have accomplished a great deal.  Our activities over the past five years include (1) sponsoring two grassroots activist training courses – one in Florida and the other in Washington, DC; (2) co-sponsoring three Conservative Political Action (CPAC) Conference; (3) publishing four editions of our magazine, The Black Republican; (4) airing election-year radio ads in 2006 and 2008 on stations that target black Americans; (5) placing over 80 “Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican” billboards in battleground states – 50 of which were put up in Denver, Colorado during the Democratic Party’s National Convention; (6) co-sponsoring our first annual Black Republican Forum at the Women’s National Republican Club in New York City; and (7) placing NBRA booths at the national NAACP Convention and the National Urban League Conference.  As a result of our grassroots activism, we garnered over five million hits on our website in 2008 alone, and we are well on our way to exceeding that number for 2010.

Our plans for the future include implementing an ambitious strategy for communicating our message further nationwide, with a particular emphasis on reaching more young people through college campus forums and the Internet.  An exciting project is promoting a play I wrote about the history of civil rights that is being produced by a historical black college.  The expectation is that the play will be taken on the road and performed at various college campuses and community theaters around the country.
