2025 NAACP Annual Dinner: A Night at the Museum – Where History Comes Alive
Join us for the 2025 NAACP Annual Dinner — A Night at the Museum: Where History Comes Alive. This powerful evening brings together members, allies, and community leaders from across Alaska, Oregon, and Washington for a night of reflection, recognition, and renewed commitment to justice.
Held at the stunning Tacoma Glass Museum, this year’s event features Olympic legend and civil rights icon John Carlos, whose raised fist on the 1968 Olympic podium became a defining moment in the global fight for equity and human rights. Dr. Carlos will share his personal journey and insights as our keynote speaker.
In addition to an inspiring program and formal dinner, the evening will include a special tribute honoring Christine Reeves, this year’s recipient of the President’s Award. Presented by the NAACP President, this national distinction recognizes individuals for exceptional achievement and distinguished public service — a tradition celebrated through the prestigious NAACP Image Awards.
Set against a backdrop of art, culture, and community, this event is not only a celebration of progress, but a call to action. Whether you’re a lifelong advocate or new to the movement, join us for a night where history is honored, voices are uplifted, and the spirit of change comes alive.
Reserve your seat and be part of a night where history is honored, voices are uplifted, and the spirit of change comes alive.
