The 60th Annual Austin NAACP DeWitty Overton Freedom Fund Awards Banquet was held on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. The theme of the Austin NAACP Banquet was “Equal Protection of the Law. Where Do We Stand”? The goal of the Austin NAACP Banquet was to invite attendees by reigniting and restoring the philosophical component that asserts power resides in the people, according to Austin NAACP president Nelson Linder. The 2025 Austin NAACP Banquet included 17 awards. Jennifer Saunders, KXAN Evening News Anchor, was the Mistress of the Ceremony. This was an evening of people taking pictures by the Christmas trees, taking group photos, and socializing with people they had not seen this year or, sometimes, for many years. © 2025 Michael Lewis Global Photography, All Rights Reserved
