The NAACP Georgia State Conference joins the community in mourning the passing of Civil Rights leader, Joe Beasley. He devoted his life to uplifting our people, confronting injustice, and standing steadfast on the front lines of the struggle for human and civil rights not only in Georgia, but across the globe. His voice was bold, his spirit unbreakable, and his impact immeasurable.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, loved ones, and all whose lives were touched by his courage, leadership, and unwavering commitment to justice. We will honor his legacy in the most meaningful way: by continuing the work to which he dedicated his life. Rest In Power, Joe Beasley!

Congratulations on this historic achievement Mayor Williams.

We are proud of you.

Thank you, Stockbridge!
Yesterday, we made history — becoming the youngest mayor in our city’s history and the youngest African-American mayor in Georgia.

I’m deeply grateful to my family, friends, supporters, and especially my campaign team the ones who worked day and night to connect with every voter across our community.

This victory belongs to all of us. I’m committed to building a better, stronger Stockbridge and now that we’re elected, we’re going to do it together.

We’re all in for Stockbridge. Let’s get to work.
