June 25, 2022 Happy Juneteenth! On behalf of the California Hawaii State Conference of the NAACP, I am honored to welcome you to the 10th Annual CA/HI NAACP Legacy Hall of Fame Ceremony. We are very excited to host you in-person this year, after a long hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This evening, we bring together NAACP members and supporters to recognize an outstanding community leader who has fought tirelessly to advance civil rights. This year’s inductee is Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who serves California’s 43rd Congressional District, and is the most senior African American woman to serve in Congress. She is also the Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee. We could not have a stronger and better member of Congress to induct into the CA/HI NAACP Legacy Hall of Fame. My continued vision for the CA/HI NAACP is that we all work together - because together we are a force to be reckoned with. Tonight is our opportunity to celebrate and express our gratitude to those who have made California and Hawaii a better place for all, but we also come together as a community to acknowledge the accomplishments of those who deserve our recognition for supporting the principles of the NAACP. Thank you for joining me to celebrate the dedication and contributions made by Congresswoman Maxine Waters in the fight for civil rights. With leaders like Congresswoman Waters fighting alongside the NAACP, we are truly making a difference. Together, we are the CA/HI NAACP! Yours in Fight,
Freddye Davis Area Director - West Alice A. Huffman, PhD President Emeritus
