The Virginia State Conference NAACP (Virginia NAACP) mourns the passing of Congressman A. Donald McEachin. He fought fiercely and fearlessly for civil rights and racial justice. Congressman McEachin brought hope to the hopeless and light to those who struggled in the darkness. He will be remembered as a compassionate and dedicated leader who was deeply invested in the Virginia NAACP’s mission of ensuring the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and eliminating racial hatred and racial discrimination. The Commonwealth of Virginia, and especially the 4th Congressional District, is forever changed because of his influence, and he will never be forgotten.

ABOUT THE VIRGINIA NAACP
Chartered in 1935, the NAACP Virginia State Conference (Virginia NAACP) is the oldest and largest nonpartisan civil rights organization in the Commonwealth. The Virginia NAACP advocates, agitates, and litigates for civil rights due to Black Virginians. Representing over 100 NAACP adult branches, youth councils, and college chapters, together, we fight to build the social and political power required to abolish racial discrimination in localities throughout Virginia.
