George Takei to Receive the National Equal Justice Award at Legal Defense Fund Dinner


George Takei Set to Receive the National Equal Justice Award from the Legal Defense Fund.

Actor and director Tony Goldwyn is set to host the evening featuring special appearances by Andra Day and country music star Reyna Roberts. This year’s theme, “All Rise,” will bring together leaders from business, philanthropy, law, and the arts to honor those who have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the promotion of racial justice and equality. LDF understands that propelling civil rights requires more than legal expertise; it demands the powerful influence, commitment and support from national leaders in law, business, philanthropy, media and the arts, who shape the public narrative, reach broad audiences, and inspire lasting change.
