Rev. Wright to Address Detroit NAACP

For 53 years the Detroit Branch NAACP has sponsored one of the nation’s signature events. Thanks to hundreds of volunteers, dedicated staff and many business, corporate, community, faith-
based and labor organizations we can record a history of success in what has become the nation’s largest sit down dinner. This year shall be no different.

It is therefore our unique pleasure to announce that the speaker for the 53rd Annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner will be the Honorable Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, pastor emeritus of the Trinity United
Church of Christ, Chicago, Illinois. Reverend Wright has challenged the nation, challenged our comfort zone and stimulated nation-wide discussion on the issues of how we must move forward together as both a nation and a people. We look forward to his participation here in the city of Detroit.
