At the NAACP Image Awards, Bree Newsome was a recipient of the prestigious Chairman’s Award for individuals and organizations who have used their distinct platforms to be agents of change.
Bree was honored for her role with The Tribe in the takedown of the Confederate Flag from the South Carolina state capitol. During the awards ceremony, they played the video captured by Andrea at the direct action!
The image of Bree with the Confederate flag in hand has become a touchstone of empowerment for disenfranchised people around the globe.
