The Beaumont NAACP hosted its annual scholarship banquet Friday evening at the Beaumont Civic Center. Hundreds gathered to hear the guest speaker Author Dr. Dennis Kimbro and honor educators during an awards ceremony. NAACP members also came to enjoy the company of fellow members and eat the delicious food and desserts.
Kimbro who is best known for his book “Think and Grow Rich: A Black Choice," currently teaches at Clark Atlanta University’s School of Business Administration. He delivered an empowering speech that encouraged the audience to make a difference, dream big, and be confident. “I can is the key message for tonight,” Kimbro says.
The event was also attended by members of the Port Arthur and Orange chapters.
Meanwhile, Beaumont President Judge Paul A. Brown couldn't let the audience go without encouraging everyone to pay or renew their membership to make the local chapter even stronger.
