Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. brother Tylik McMillan has been appointed as the National Director of Youth and College for the NAACP, stepping into a key leadership role at one of the nation’s most historic civil rights organizations.

A nationally recognized civil rights activist, strategist, and advocate for justice and equity, McMillan is a proud HBCU graduate of North Carolina A&T State University.
