The Jacksonville, Arkansas Branch of the NAACP proudly presents our Inaugural Freedom Fund Gala, a night of celebration, empowerment, and progress! Join us on Thursday, June 19, 2025, at 6:30 PM at the Jacksonville Community Center as we honor the past, embrace the present, and shape the future. This year’s theme, "Reigniting Our Power," is a call to action—reminding us of the strength, resilience, and unity that have fueled the fight for civil rights for generations. It signifies a renewed commitment to justice, equality, and the power we hold when we come together as a community. Why Juneteenth? This historic holiday marks the true end of slavery in America, symbolizing the freedom that was long overdue. For the NAACP, Juneteenth represents not only liberation but also the ongoing journey toward equity and opportunity for all. It is a time to reflect, celebrate, and recommit to the work ahead. We Need Your Support. The NAACP Jacksonville Branch is a non-profit 501c4 all volunteer-led and donation-funded organization.
