Excerpts From The Optimist Creed – “Promise Yourself” To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind; To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet; To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best; To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own; To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

    1 2003 NAACP Convention July 13, 2003 (6:30PM Embargo) Miami, Florida Copyright 2003 by Julian Bond To Board member Adora Obi Nweze, Vice Chair Roslyn Brock, other members of the Board of Directors, SCF Trustees, CEO Kweisi Mfume, NAACP staff, NAACP members, friends and guests – welcome to our 94th national convention. Under President Nweze’s leadership, the Florida NAACP State Conference has risen to great heights. Building on an already solid foundation laid by Leon Russell, in the last two years they have chartered four prison chapters, filed lawsuits against vouchers and the state’s failed One Florida plan, an employment discrimination complaint against the corrections department, and against Florida’s disenfranchisement of black voters in 2000. Last week, she opened the Florida NAACP’s first state office, in Orlando. The Florida State Conference and all of you are part of the largest army of grassroots soldiers for civil rights in the country! And, in poll after poll, our constituents and the public say we are the most respected and most effective of all civil rights organizations.i Our membership is growing, our leadership is strong – and it’s a good thing, because we have much to do. It is of course a pleasure to be in Florida – the state whose motto is, “It ain’t over until your brother counts the votes!” 1 2 You know last year we gathered in Texas. Now maybe because both Florida and Texas are hot, both are home to a particular species called the “bush”. These “bushes” are prickly and grow lopsided – they lean sharply to the right.
