'We have to be prepared to fight for our children's future until Hell freezes over...and then we have to be ready to fight on the ice.' NAACPImageAwards
Civil Rights attorney Benjamin Crump received the Social Justice Impact Award at the Saturday night, and the 53-year-old gave an impassioned speech for Black Americans to fight against politicians"in Florida or any of the other 50 states" trying to erase Black history.
"I accept this award as greater motivation to continue to be [an] unapolgetic defender of Black life, Black liberty and Black humanity," Crump said during his acceptance speech. "I promise I will use this Social Justice Award as greater incentive to fight against the legalized genocide of colored people and vow never to stop fighting racism and discrimination when it rears its ugly head.
"[We have to] demand that they acknowledge that the teaching of Black history matters," he asserted."Harriet Tubman matters, Frederick Douglass matters, Ida B. Wells matters, Thurgood Marshall matters, Dr. King matters, Rosa Parks matters, Malcolm X matters, Shirley Chisholm, John Lewis, they were not mere footnotes in the history books - they were the heroes.
The NAACP Social Impact Award recognizes people who impact civil and social justice. Crump joins journalist Nikole Hannah Jones, who won in 2022, and voting rights advocate Stacey Abrams, who won in 2021.
