Season 2 Episode 5 – Power & Community Podcast | December Recap & What’s Next
In this episode of the NAACP Akron Power & Community Podcast, cohosts Dr. Lathardus Goggins II and William E. Blake break down the key takeaways from December’s NAACP Akron Unit General Meeting—naming the work, the wins, and the responsibilities ahead.
The conversation then turns forward, spotlighting what’s coming up in the community:
- Akron Area Kwanzaa Celebrations, with special focus on Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)—sponsored by the NAACP Akron Unit—uplifting Black entrepreneurship and collective economic power.
- A preview of the Power, Love, Justice Weekend in January, honoring the legacy of Martin L. King, Jr. and recommitting to action rooted in justice, love, and community accountability.
Grounded, unapologetic, and community-centered, this episode connects reflection to movement—because meetings matter, culture matters, and what we do next matters most.
