If people don’t recognize how powerful their voice is, especially now, then nothing will ever change. Our presence matters. Our voice matters. And the power of our vote matters. We have to show up, speak up, and use the power we possess.

Are you familiar with the African proverb: "The youth can walk faster, but the elder knows the road”?

We feel this quote reflects the leadership of Mary McLeod Bethune. She provided the “roadmap” when others were still finding their way. She taught younger generations how to navigate systems of power. She modeled patience, strategy, and wisdom, and her legacy continues to guide (the “road”) long after her lifetime!

In short, Mrs. Bethune corresponds to the proverb because she was the wise elder whose knowledge, experience, and vision guided younger generations—helping them not only walk fast but walk in the right direction!

Who is a wise elder that has helped to guide YOU?

In 1963, we marched for jobs and freedom. In 2026, we march for our right to vote, fair wages, and affordable housing and groceries. The job's not done, so the movement continues.

Meet us in Washington, D.C. on August 28 for : Defend the Vote. NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson joins today's civil rights leaders and activists leading the march toward justice, equity... and Election Day. https://naacp.org/events/march-washington-defend-vote
