NOW IS THE TIME! AWARDEES ANNOUNCED FOR 68TH ANNUAL FIGHT FOR FREEDOM FUND DINNER
As we approach the historic June Jubilee scheduled for June 22-25, we are reminded of the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to lift our nations from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God’s children.” Now is the time for us to re-energize our people and to refocus our efforts on the work that still must be done. Detroit will be the scene to remind the nation of the need to maintain our vigilance and commitment to freedom, justice, and equity.

The Detroit Branch NAACP is pleased to once again commemorate this historic occasion at our June Jubilee: A Celebration Of Freedom, June 22-25, right here in the city of Detroit.

PRESS STATEMENT - AMERICA AND ITS KILLING FIELDS
“We must end the gratuitous prayers for the victims, flowers and teddy bears for the deceased, litanies of how bad we feel that another killing field has occurred. It is not enough to send up a prayer for the dead. We must send out a policy change for the living. We cannot allow political leaders who are supposed to serve the people to disregard the will and determination of the people.”
