Jennings: Announces FBI award
As the lead agency for enforcing federal civil rights laws, the Federal Bureau of Investigation will be honored at the National Cultural Diversity Awareness Council, 8th annual “Keeping the Dream Alive ®” Conference and Dinner for Business and Education, on Thursday October 30, 2014, at the Radisson Hotel, Center of New Hampshire located at 700 Elm Street in Manchester, NH.
“Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964” is the theme for the conference/dinner. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a landmark piece of civil rights legislation in the United States that outlawed major forms of discrimination against racial, ethnic, national, and religious minorities, and women. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is also considered one of the crowning legislative achievements of the civil rights movement.
The National Cultural Diversity Awareness Council will celebrate this historical piece of legislation by recognizing the Federal Bureau of Investigation for its dedication and commitment to protecting the cherished freedoms of all Americans. This includes aggressively investigating and working to prevent hate crime, “color of law” abuses by public officials, human trafficking and involuntary servitude, and freedom of access to clinic entrances violations.
The F.B.I. will be presented with the NCDAC “Keeping the Dream Alive ®” award in Law Enforcement. The “Keeping the Dream Alive ®” award is presented to an individual or organization that has made a significant contribution for improving ethnic diversity or civil rights in the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Previous recipients of this award have included President George W. Bush, Don Newcombe (teammate of Jackie Robinson), US Senator Daniel Inouye, Mrs. Indra Nooyi, President and CEO of PepsiCo, Inc., the US Secret Service, and ABC World News.
