Youth Council
The Youth Council of the East St. Louis Branch
of the NAACP was organized in 1948 to meet the need of youth involvement.
Mrs. Mattie Boyce was the first supervisor and Miss Vivian Adams
and Mr. Curtis Silvers were two of the members. Miss Adams and
Mr. Silver were recognized as outstanding leaders among the youth
and were sent to represent the council at a meeting in Peoria
in 1948.
