NAACP Springfield Chapter President Francine Pratt is a living example of how anyone can get what they want out of life, if they’re willing to try.
Most people are ready to call it a day: It’s 7 p.m. on a Friday night at Big Momma’s coffee shop on Commercial Street. But Francine Pratt is just warming up, sipping on a big mug of chai tea and reflecting on her crazy week. Pratt, the president of the local chapter of the NAACP—the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People—has a full-time job working on child support projects with Maximus, Inc., a government services provider. Francine’s week started in California and took her to Virginia. She then spent Friday in Missouri, seeing clients in Jefferson City. It’s all in a week’s work for this 51-year-old.
