About The Banquet
The Greater Texarkana Branch 103rd Freedom Fund Awards Banquet is the Branch’s primary fundraiser, supporting programming, activism, and outreach. These funds allow us to fulfill the Branch’s mission to serve Texarkana and Northeast Texas, its community and people and to provide and assist people in hopes of ensuring equal prosperity, advancement and opportunities; as well as protect the rights and freedom of people in anticipation that they can pursue, fulfill and achieve their aspirations.
​
The Banquet also recognizes outstanding community leaders who generously offer their time, knowledge and dedication within the community; as well as identify as true freedom fighters.
I’ve seen first-hand how unjust laws can ruin families in the State of Texas and I realize I have two options; I can continue to fight the injustice case by case in the court of law OR I can go to Austin and fight to change those laws. I’ve decided my unique experiences as a civil rights attorney will serve to educate those on the house floor of the real life problems with many of the laws that have been implemented.
