71st Annual Fight For Freedom Fund Dinner

The NAACP Detroit Branch Fight For Freedom Fund Dinner, scheduled for Sunday, April 26, 5 p.m. at Huntington Place in downtown Detroit will serve as a call to action. This call to action comes at a time when each one of us are called to stand up, defend, protect, and continue this idea called America, the land of the free and the home of the brave with liberty and justice for all. We are excited about those local and national persons who will be honored as well as those who will be speaking to the concerns of a nation whose very soul is at risk. This is not the time for anyone to sit on the sidelines. Everyone must take a stand and get engaged in the preservation for their own freedom.
