The Ann Arbor Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People recognized 268 Ann Arbor Public Schools high school students at their annual Freedom Fund Dinner. The students were recognized for maintaining a 3.2 grade point average or above during the 2023-24 school year.
The theme of this year’s Freedom Fund Dinner was “All In.” Pioneer’s N’deye Diop, Skyline’s Karma Bailey and Jaden Drake, Community’s Adebabaye Rosczyk and Hurona’s Khadijah Mbengue shared what “All In” means to them.
