The Prince George’s County NAACP held its 26th Annual Hester V. King Freedom Fund Gala Oct. 19. The Gala supports the major programs of the branch as well as youth outreach, a press release said. “We have to teach the next generation about business ownership, how to create jobs,” Bob Ross, branch president, said. The event’s keynote speaker was retired New York State Supreme Court Justice Laura D. Blackburne.
Several county residents joined 2014 Prince George’s County
NAACP award honoree Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, who is running for Maryland Governor, along with Congress members, including Rep. Donna Edwards (D-Md.) and Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) to advocate for the need for Black Americans to get out and vote.
