NAACP Akron – Power & Community Podcast | Season 3 Premiere
Season 3 opens with reflection, renewal, and recommitment. In this January premiere of the NAACP Akron Power & Community Podcast, hosts Dr. Lathardus Goggins II and William E. Blake reflect on recent community-centered work, including Akron’s Kwanzaa celebrations and the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Power, Love, and Justice Weekend.
The episode also recaps the first NAACP Akron Unit General Meeting of the new year and highlights community observances honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, grounding these moments in the ongoing struggle for justice, equity, and collective responsibility.
Beyond reflection, the conversation lifts up the importance of cultural joy—as sustenance, resistance, and affirmation—while encouraging listeners to join the NAACP, stay engaged, and remain connected to upcoming activities, advocacy efforts, and opportunities to build power in community.
Season 3 begins with clarity and purpose: honoring legacy, organizing in the present, and moving forward together.
