About this Event
The NAACP's Fighting Fund for Freedom (aka Freedom Fund Banquet), began in 1953 (on a national level) as a ten-year program to intensify efforts to complete the job of emancipation. Near the culmination of this effort, Medgar W. Evers, a heroic NAACP Mississippi Field Secretary, was killed by an assassin’s bullet. This prompted the NAACP Chairman Bishop Stephen Spottswood to pay tribute to this gallant warrior at the NAACP Convention in Chicago, Illinois in July 1963. He did so by proclaiming that the NAACP Fighting Fund for Freedom will continue until the job of emancipating our people is complete.

The Anne Arundel County (AAC) NAACP Branch's tradition of the Freedom Fund Banquet is to celebrate achievements and contributions of citizens that have made a difference in the community of the course of the year.
Come join us as we celebrate the year's 49th Annual Freedom Fund Awards Banquet!
