"You cannot stop violence with violence; you cannot conquer discrimination by discriminating!!! Let us become 'One Community'"
Following retirement, President Williams wanted to start her own mediation business but God had another plan for her. She met with her pastor at St John Missionary Baptist Church as she wanted him to bless her business. Instead she left his office agreeing to run for President of the Springfield Chapter of the NAACP.
In 2013 she was elected with only two members...herself and her best friend, Ms. Diane Sanders of Columbus, Ohio, running the Springfield office. Four years later, among her accomplishments, she has helped bridged the divide of injustice while helping to grow the membership to over 100 members; build relationships with Clark County Sheriff and City of Springfield Police Departments. She was essential in calling for a crease fire among two gang members and list goes on.
In the Summer of 2017, President Williams was elected as the 3rd Vice President of the Ohio State NAACP Conference.

"WE OWE IT TO OUR PEOPLE TO VOTE"
Hi Fam,
Let me remind us of something that is important: The Voting Rights Act was not ancient. It is something that happened during my lifetime.
I’m 65 years old; so when I was a little girl, Black people were being beaten, threatened, and blocked from voting polls.
The Voting Rights Act was signed in 1965—that means that that right that many of us take for granted is 61 years old: That’s younger than me and many of my friends.
So our grandparents and great-grandparents lived through poll taxes, literacy tests, violence—some of them didn’t live long enough to vote. Some were murdered, but that was the price they paid for us to have a voice.
We are at a turning point: This year’s [2026] vote is more important than ever:
-
Laws are being changed
-
Districts are being redrawn
-
Rights that we thought would last forever are being challenged
History is repeating itself, and it’s doing it loudly and boldly.
So we owe it to our People to vote. If we don’t show up—if we don’t wake up, we are gonna find ourselves living under restrictions that look like a lot like the Jim Crow era. That’s not what our parents died for.
We owe it to our ancestors to vote: Register to Vote! PLEASE!
Thank you!
Ms. Lois Fletcher, Chair
NAACP Branch 3201 Political Action
