NAACP Killeen Branch #6189

Message from President Moultrie:

To the Killeen Youth Council:
As you write this new chapter of your life with the start of another school year, I want to take the time to sow seeds of prosperity, success and encouragement into your life.
-May God’s hedge of protection surround you, going and coming. He will protect you.
-May you always know you’ve got a support system; your cheer squad that’s got your back. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
-Be the best and always do your best. You are more than a conqueror.
-Lastly, “Life loves to be taken by the lapel and be told, ‘I am with you kid. Let’s go!’” — Maya Angelou

Have a phenomenal school year!

Love you & blessings to you all!!🫶🏾
