NBC 5 and Telemundo 39 along with the Fort Worth Tarrant County NAACP invite you to attend the 47th Annual George D. Flemmings Freedom Fund Celebration at 6:45 p.m. on Friday, October 25, at the Fort Worth Convention Center Ballroom. This year’s event will feature a conversation between Fort Worth’s own Major General Anthony Woods, Commander of the Texas State Guard, and NBC 5 News' Vince Sims.
Since 2015, Major General Woods has served in various positions in the Texas State Guard. Major General Woods also made history in 2005 as the first African American Commander of the 1st Armor Battalion. The 2024 theme is “90 Years: Breaking Barriers and Building Bridges.”
For the past 90 years, as a non-partisan organization, the Fort Worth Tarrant County NAACP branch has promoted civil rights for all citizens. Today, the branch continues to break down social, racial, and economic barriers in our community by presenting forums, working with local law enforcement and local school districts, providing scholarships for students to advance their college careers, producing national award-winning youth through the NAACP ACT-SO program and much more. Sponsorship packages, tables, and individual tickets to the Freedom Fund Celebration are available.
