NAACP Staunton Branch holds elections
STAUNTON – The Staunton Branch of the NAACP announced in a press release that they will be holding bi-annual branch elections on Thursday, Nov. 14. Each election year the branch must complete a three-month process which includes appointing a Nominating Committee, reviewing member rosters to identify 'members in good standing,' and navigating the nominations process to ensure adherence to state and national requirements for elections, the release said.
As the Nominating Committee completes its charge the process is then shifted to the Elections Supervisory Committee. This committee is responsible for ensuring that the election process itself is completed, again, based on state and national requirements. Additionally, this committee can provide support as needed to branch members on election day. The Elections Supervisory Committee this year is chaired by branch member Agatha Coleman.
On election day each active member will receive their ballot via email address, cell phone number or both. This notice will come from 'Election Buddy.' The instructions for how members can complete their ballot will accompany the notification.
If members have a problem, they can notify Coleman at 540-290-2287. The results of the election will be made available to all members once the electronic ballot closes and the supervisory committee has certified the results.

'As of today we did escalate this to law enforcement, and we wanted you to be aware of that.' Advertisement Cain said the national office is seeking records, and asked members who had meeting minutes, treasury reports or other documents to provide them to the organization. In the meantime, she said, 'there will be no election, there will be no events.' Providence Police Commander Timothy O'Hara said police received a report of financial irregularities Tuesday from the NAACP. He declined to name a specific suspect while the case is under investigation, and emphasized that police have not yet begun reviewing any financial records.

An appreciation: Jerrauld C. Jones
Jerrauld Jones, a 70-year-old Norfolk native, former state delegate and judge, died May 31, 2025. (Photo courtesy of the Jones family) Editor's note: This column references a racial slur in a quote. Rare is the time when a state legislator – through the power of his own personal, painful narrative – changes the minds of colleagues. Jerrauld C. Jones, given that platform on the floor of the Virginia House of Delegates in January 1999 as he discussed the Confederate battle flag, displayed an oratory so gut-wrenching, so authentic, that he swayed opposing delegates to his side. There's nothing I can compare it to in the General Assembly since that moment. Jones, a 70-year-old Norfolk native and son of civil rights attorney Hilary H. Jones, died Saturday. Today, he will be memorialized. I don't mean to lessen his sterling lifetime of achievements – including being among the first Black students to integrate Ingleside Elementary School in 1961. He later earned bachelor's and law degrees. In addition to being a state delegate from 1988 to 2002 representing the state's 89th District anchored in his hometown, he later directed the state Department of Juvenile Justice. He then was appointed a juvenile and domestic relations court judge, and then a circuit court judge. He retired from the latter post last year because of health problems. That moment in 1999, though, was an inflection point in his career. People across the commonwealth unfamiliar with his background and determination were introduced to him in a dramatic way. (Full disclosure: Jones' wife, Lyn Simmons, and son, Jay Jones, and I have long attended the same Catholic church in Norfolk. Simmons is a juvenile and domestic relations district judge, and Jay Jones is a former delegate and current Democratic candidate for state attorney general.) I was an editorial writer at the (Newport News) Daily Press in 1999. I remember seeing television accounts of Jerrauld Jones' speech as he explained why Virginia shouldn't give its imprimatur by placing the Confederate flag on state license plates. I couldn't find footage of Jones' impassioned comments that day; a House of Delegates official told me video archives don't go back to 1999. News articles can't truly capture Jones' gripping explanation of how – for African Americans – the flag represented fear, intimidation and white supremacy. But those news stories will have to do: The Sons of Confederate Veterans had wanted the flag symbol on a specialty license plate. Jones, a Norfolk Democrat and head of the legislative Black caucus, relayed his first memory of the flag to colleagues. When he was just 6, returning with other Black children and their parents from a field trip, they saw the flag being waved in a field next to a burning cross at a Ku Klux Klan rally, The Washington Post reported. 'The fear in that bus was so great you could smell it,' said Jones. 'I saw the stark fear in my mother's face as she looked out that window. … All we could do was hope and pray that we would not be molested because of that symbol of hate and violence.' A year later, he and his brother attempted to enroll at Ingleside Elementary School. 'We not only were told, 'Ni–er stay out, ni–er go home' – that we would dare try to integrate their schools – but we were greeted with waving Confederate flags,' he said. And later, he brought his point home: 'And now, some want to put that symbol of pain on the cars of Virginia.' The Post noted that when Jones rose to speak, many delegates were paying their usual scant attention to business. By the time Jones was halfway through his 20-minute teachable moment, though, 'a respectful silence had settled over the room.' The House approved by voice vote an amendment allowing the words 'Sons of Confederate Veterans' on the plate, but not the logo. Jones later received hate mail, and the SCV went to federal court to restore the flag. No matter: Jones' courage, persuasiveness and representation of African Americans were on full display that day a little more than a quarter-century ago. That incident was a microcosm of his lifetime of leadership and service. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX

Steve Chapman: Donald Trump's campaign of intimidation echoes the worst of our past
America is supposed to be the land of the brave, but under the second administration of Donald Trump, it's fallen under a climate of fear. Universities and law firms have been punished for their perceived disloyalty. Foreigners have been abducted by masked agents and shipped to foreign gulags without due process. News organizations have been bullied for performing honest journalism. Federal employees have been cashiered by the thousands. Corporations harmed by his trade policies have been vilified for telling the truth about tariffs. Judges find themselves threatened for faithfully following the law. Trump and his allies are doing their best to rule through systematic intimidation. It's a new approach to the presidency. But it has deep roots in American history. Recently, I visited Alabama to tour several sites that recount the horrifying realities of life under authoritarian subjugation and the struggles of African Americans who lived in constant fear of incurring the wrath of their rulers as well as ordinary white citizens. The National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, a massive outdoor structure, recalls the era of racial terrorism, documenting more than 4,400 lynchings of Black Americans between 1877 and 1950. The Legacy Museum provides a thorough account of the enslavement and oppression of an entire race of people. The Rosa Parks Museum and the National Civil Rights Museum in Birmingham recall the efforts that demolished segregation and won Black people legal and social equality. To visit these places is to be shocked anew by the savagery that was the defining trait of the Jim Crow South — and the astonishing courage of the people who took part in the struggle for freedom and justice. The procession of images sears the mind: mobs of police clubbing peaceful demonstrators. A white mob torching a bus carrying Freedom Riders. The mutilated body of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old murdered for allegedly failing to show proper deference to a white woman. The rubble of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham after the 1963 bombing that killed four Black girls. Rosa Parks, jailed for declining to give up her bus seat to a white passenger. Today, we see the Civil Rights Movement as the stirring triumph of America's noblest ideals. And it's easy to assume the outcome was inevitable. But one central fact about those Americans who challenged their oppressors is this: They didn't know they would win. Parks, John Lewis, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and others took enormous risks. Lewis had his skull fractured in a terrible beating by police. King had his house bombed and died from an assassin's bullet. Parks knew she might not leave jail alive. Those who marched or even showed sympathy for the movement put their lives and livelihoods in grave jeopardy. Black people who tried to register to vote lost their jobs or were evicted from homes and farms. Those who demonstrated often went to jail or prison. Some paid the ultimate price, tortured and killed by Klansmen and their allies. It could have all been for nothing. White supremacy had been the unbreakable norm in the South for centuries. Even the Civil War and Reconstruction failed to destroy it. Those who suffered under this regime had no plausible grounds to think they could escape it — and every reason to expect that stepping out of line would make their lives much worse. Yet they acted anyway. Americans are proud of living in a 250-year-old democracy. But, despite the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the rights enshrined in the Constitution, this country didn't come close to being fully free and democratic until the 1960s, when Black people finally gained the right to vote throughout the land. Trump's administration is hardly equivalent to what prevailed in the old South. But what it is doing raises ominous parallels: the contempt for the rule of law, the pardoning of violent insurrectionists, the attacks on civil rights protections, the celebration of cruelty and, of course, the relentless effort to scare people into submission. It's no coincidence that many of the states where Trump is most popular are the states that enforced white supremacy with the greatest ferocity. These Alabama sites are focused on history, not the outrage of the week from the White House. But they serve as an eloquent rebuke to what Trump represents. And it's probably only a matter of time before they become a target of his ire. They're a reminder that American freedom and democracy are not guaranteed. Whether we will be able to preserve our liberal democracy from the MAGA onslaught is not at all certain. But as those in the Civil Rights Movement could have told us, there is only one way to find out.
