Freedom Fund Banquet

2011 Freedom Fund Banquet Highlights!

Every day, hundreds of people depend on the NAACP to work at ensuring their- political, educational, social, and economic equality. Our organization has worked since 1909 to achieve equality of rights and eliminate racial prejudice among the citizens of the Greater New Orleans metropolitan area. 

The positive effects of the NAACP are far reaching, but we cannot do it alone. On June 4, 2011, we will be hosting our annual Freedom Fund Banquet at Xavier University's Grand Ballroom at 7:00 PM.
