​

Mayor Tom Henry was a magnanimous supporter and tremendous friend of the NAACP!

 

He believed in our mission and greatly supported our work, whether to stop the violence, better our community, and tackle challenges in employment or educational institutions. Mayor Henry was always there for us. 

 

Discrimination, harassment, and undoubtedly other challenging topics were met with Mayor Henry's unwavering courage. He fearlessly welcomed the truth and steadfastly believed in the greater good, a testament to his commitment to prioritizing the needs of others above his own.  

 

Mayor Tom Henry wasn’t just a man but a real leader who will be sincerely missed.

 

The NAACP joins his family, friends, and many others, including the entire city of Fort Wayne and Allen County, in bidding a blessed farewell to Mayor Tom Henry.

 

Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss. If there is anything that we can do to help in any way, please do not hesitate to call us at any time, even if it is only for a talk. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family, especially during this challenging time.

 

This Year's Freedom Fund will Not only Honor the work/lasting legacy of Mayor Tom Henry but also Celebrate our city's historical advancement and achievement with our

First Woman and First Black American Mayor!
