Mississippi State NAACP Conference in Biloxi Nov. 5 -7, 2026

Report of Attorney Patrice Amandla Sulton, Moderator of Labor & Industry Workshop: Dear all, Thank you for a thoughtful, solutions-focused Labor & Industry workshop today. I appreciate the opportunity to help facilitate the discussion and hear everyone’s ideas for expanding African American entrepreneurship, ownership, and workforce opportunity. Below, I’ve organized the recommendations into two groups: priorities for the State Conference to consider advancing, and actions we can all take individually and through our businesses and organizations. These reflect ideas raised during the discussion, not formally adopted positions. Recommendations for the State Conference Connect people to jobs and apprenticeships. Build relationships with organized labor and other opportunity providers to connect community members with jobs and press trade unions to expand apprenticeship opportunities. Advance fair employment policies.
