70TH ANNUAL FIGHT FOR FREEDOM FUND DINNER KEYNOTE SPEAKER AND AWARDEES ANNOUNCED

“We are at a crossroads of whether we will go forward as a people or return to the days of old without civil rights, but with institutional discrimination and hatred, mocked by the sound of a constant vacuum sucking the very life and opportunity from the people across this land. Certainly, African Americans are concerned because we have experienced since 1619 the very brunt and depth of violence, racism, and neglect. However, we have all made great strides to change this condition. We believe that all of us - Black, White, Jew, Arab, Gentile, Hispanic, and Asian -  must come together to fight against this tidal wave of disrespect, anti-Americanism, and threat to the very lifeline of each and every American. It is with this backdrop that we invite everyone to step up, stand out, and show your concern for our people and this nation at our upcoming NAACP Detroit Branch 70th Annual Fight For Freedom Fund Dinner.”
