Meghan Markle and Prince Harry received the President's Award at the NAACP Image Awards on Saturday (February 26th).
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were recognized for their work with the Archewell Foundation, which the pair launched in 2020.
In the couple’s acceptance speech, Markle said, “It's inspiring to think about the legacy of the Image Awards, which began shortly after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were passed into law. Today, we can continue that legacy by re-establishing federal voting protections in our country and fulfilling the work of civil rights giants, like the late John Lewis.”
