Former Vice President Kamala Harris urged viewers not to "surrender to cynicism and destruction" on Saturday as she was honored at the 2025 NAACP Image Awards.
Harris attended the ceremony celebrating Black excellence and received the chairman's award, which is given to "individuals who excel in public service and leverage their unique platforms to ignite and drive meaningful change." She said the honor is special to her because she grew up "inspired" by the work of the NAACP, and the group is "part of the reason I chose a life of public service."
She continued that Americans must have the same "sense of urgency" today that the NAACP's founders did, "knowing, as the saying goes
, eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."
