The NAACP Louisiana State Conference Award Honorees are individuals who have demonstrated a commitment of their lives, their voices, and their resources to the mission of the NAACP. Michael McClanahan, President of the NAACP Louisiana State Conference submits, “Our honorees have their hands to the plow. They are engaged in community, armed in knowledge, and marked by service and selflessness.” The NAACP’s history of excellence in action is lived through their experience and their dedication to the core values; all of which are just as relevant, poignant, and essential to advancement in the 21st century as they were at its inception in 1909.

The evening will be a star-studded affair hosted by Dr. Lexy star of OWN TV’s Ready to Love Season One and Chris Cole, Atlanta Social Influencer.
