Georgia Elects Youngest State President in NAACP History
ATLANTA, GA – In a historic vote, James “Major” Woodall (Bulloch County), 25, was elected as the new State President of the Georgia NAACP. Mr. Woodall has served as Georgia Youth & College Division State President, First Vice President of the Bulloch County Branch, and most recently as a 2018 graduate of the NAACP’s Next-Gen leadership training program. “I ran for State President because far too many people are suffocating from lack of access to healthcare, clean air and water, poor education and mass incarceration,” he says.
