2016 Gala Honorees

Thank you to everyone who came out for our end-of-the-year hurrah! We had an amazing time celebrating youth and adults allies, cultivating intergenerational conversations, and reflecting on another busy year.

We honored Assata, a Freedom School alum, who protested with other students for the right to wear head wraps in Durham County Schools.

As well as Holly Hardin, an educator in Durham who fought this year along many other educators to stop the deportations of undocumented students, like Wildin Acosta.

Thank you so much for your dedication and resilience! There’s many, many other youth organizers and allies who shaped this past year. For everyone: thank you. We are all needed as we march into the new year.

This night wouldn’t have been possible without so many staff members (past and present), volunteers, and supporters. Thank you to everyone who donated to make another year of wins possible!
