SURGE to SERVE
STACEY ABRAMS
|
This year's NAACP Social Justice Impact Award recipient is none other than Stacey Abrams who was granted the award (virtually, but nonetheless still as special) from former First Lady Michelle Obama during the 52nd annual NAACP Image Awards on March 27. Abrams is truly mostly responsible for galvanizing 800,000 new registered voters across the country during last year’s Presidential election. Her tireless work led to the election of the country’s first Black and Asian American woman vice president in Kamala Harris and Georgia’s first Black pastor representing the state in the U.S. Senate in Rev. Rafael Warnock. In her introduction, Mrs. Obama said she was especially impressed by Abrams’ ability to “double down” after losing her bid for the gubernatorial race in 2018. |
