Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP’s Freedom Fund Banquet The Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP hosted its annual Freedom Fund Banquet virtually this year on Dec. 3. The banquet’s theme, “The Time Is Now,” focused on the NAACP’s mission that everyone can ensure equality and justice by eliminating racism and race-based discrimination in their community. The recipients of the branch’s annual scholarships and awards were honored at the banquet for their work in the community. William A. Darity Jr. and A. Kirsten Mullen, the authors of “From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century,” were the keynote speakers. The event, a signature fundraiser for the branch, supports the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, state and national NAACP operations, and local programming, activism and outreach. CHM
