As we celebrate LDF’s 70th anniversary over the coming year, it is our goal – for the first time – to identify all of those committed individuals who, over the years, have been a part of the LDF Family. Over the course of our 70 year history, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. has generated a truly outstanding group of alumni – Board members, interns, staff, fellows and scholarship recipients.
Many of our alumni are still connected to LDF in some way, from serving on the Board and staff, to helping with cases, events and projects, while also staying updated on our work through regular communication with us. And many continue fighting for justice and equality through their professional and personal lives:
- More than 80 LDF alumni are municipal, state, or federal judges.
- Five former LDF scholarship recipients are currently, or were at one time, members of the U.S. Congress.
- Eleven former LDF scholarship recipients are currently, or were at one time, state senators or representatives.
As we continue working towards our mission of equality for all, we would like to invite all of our alumni to join us – to celebrate our successes and to support us as we work not only to defend but also to expand upon those successes.
Our plan is to develop an LDF Alumni Network which will add significantly to the voices around the country advocating for and financially supporting LDF’s mission.
If you would like to join LDF’s Alumni Network, please contact us at alumni@naacpldf.org or 212-965-2205. As a member of the LDF Alumni Network you will receive special LDF updates and event invitations. We also are working to create opportunities for our alumni to get together – in-person and electronically – to advance our mission.
Please check this section regularly for information on alumni events and special communications.
