✨ Honored to Join the Legacy of the DeWitty/Overton Freedom Award ✨
Join us in celebrating this year’s DeWitty/Overton Freedom Award, presented by the Austin NAACP — an event dedicated to honoring the legacies of civil rights leaders Arthur B. DeWitty and Volma Overton, Sr.
I’m Anita C Roberts, Executive Director of Made Media Group aka Black Austin and Editor-in-Chief of the Austin Black Business Journal & Community News Magazine, and I’m honored to be part of this powerful organization that uplifts those who continue the work of justice, equity, and empowerment in our community.
🌟 About the Award:
The DeWitty/Overton Freedom Award, established in 1966, celebrates individuals who make significant contributions to civil rights, civic engagement, and public policy. It is presented during the Austin NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet, the organization’s annual fundraiser supporting its mission to achieve equity, eliminate discrimination, and strengthen the social and economic well-being of Black communities and all people of color.
Let’s continue to honor the past and move forward together.
