The Northwest Orange Republican Women, Federated (NORWF) is pleased to announce Frances Rice, Esquire – Lieutenant Colonel, US Army (Retired), co-founder and Chairman of the National Black Republican Association as our program/speaker for the February 18, 2010 general membership meeting and luncheon at 11:00AM at Errol Estate Country Club. She speaks frequently to groups on the role of African Americans returning to their roots in the Republican Party, the party of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the King family.

Frances Rice’s great-great-grandparents were slaves.  She spent her formative years in poverty in the segregated South during the 1940′s, 1950′s and 1960′s. Over the years Frances pulled herself out of poverty.  She joined the Army in 1964 as a Private and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel after 20 years of active service.
