About this event:
The Fight For Freedom Fund Dinner was launched in April 1956 under the leadership of Branch President Edward M. Turner, Arthur L. Johnson, and Dr. Lionel F. Swan. The Freedom Fund Dinner was founded in a period of renewed national hope and determination among Black Americans, even in the face of continuing racial violence and tragedy.
The Detroit NAACP is still fighting today for freedom and justice. Supporting the annual Fight For Freedom Fund Dinner ensures that the Detroit NAACP will remain on the front lines in the fight for equality and justice.
