The NC NAACP will hold its 29th Annual Humanitarian Awards Banquet on Saturday, March 16 at Abundant Life Christian Center in Raleigh.

Top honors will go to Anita Earls, an attorney and executive director of the Southern Coalition for Social Justice. Officials say Earls has earned the 2013 NC NAACP Humanitarian of the Year through her “unyielding commitment to equality, fairness and justice for all.”
