Please join us as we welcome the First Black Woman to represent the State of Virginia in the U.S. House of Representatives Jennifer McClellan as the Keynote Speaker at the Alexandria NAACP 90th Anniversary Gala on Saturday October 21, 2023.

Congresswoman McClellan dedicated her life to serving the people of Virginia and to ensuring that all Virginians have their voices heard in government. Congresswoman McClellan has served greater Richmond in the General Assembly for 17 years. She has earned a reputation as a strong legislative champion for Virginians, passing landmark laws to protect voting rights, safeguard abortion access, tackle climate change, rebuild crumbling schools, expand the Affordable Care Act in Virginia, protect workers’ rights, and reform Virginia’s criminal justice system.

As a daughter of community leaders and educators raised in the segregated South during the Depression, Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan was raised with a strong sense of servant leadership and a calling to strengthen her community. Congresswoman McClellan was born in Petersburg to parents who served the community: Her father worked as a professor at Virginia State University and her mother worked as a counselor at VSU.

Congresswoman McClellan has also been a leader in addressing Virginia’s painful history of racial inequity. As Chair of the Virginia Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Commission, Jenn promotes Dr. King’s legacy and continues his work, particularly racial healing, economic and social justice, and community engagement.
As a community leader at the local, state, and national level, McClellan has served on a wide variety of non-profit and civic organizations’ boards, including the YWCA of Richmond, the Virginia League of Planned Parenthood, the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia, the Children’s Museum of Richmond, and the Robert Russa Moton Museum. She is also a member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Congresswoman McClellan lives in Richmond with her husband, David Mills, and their two children, Jackson and Samantha.

The Alexandria Virginia Branch of the NAACP welcomes Tony . Perkins NBC4 Washington Anchor as our Master of Ceremony at the 90th Anniversary Gala on October 21, 2023.

For more than 30 years, Mr. Mr. Perkins has been part of the D.C. media scene as a host and news anchor on both television and radio. Mr. Mr. Perkins grew up in the D.C. area, attending school in Prince George's and Fairfax counties and then at American University, where he majored in communications and cinema studies.

Mr. Perkins started out as a stand-up comedian in what was then D.C.’s thriving comedy club circuit. He spent nine years performing at clubs, colleges and theaters across the country and opened for headliners such as Smokey Robinson, Aretha Franklin and Sinbad.
His comedy led to a job with Donnie Simpson’s #1-rated morning radio show on KYS-FM, which was then broadcast from NBC4 studios. From there, he hosted a show called "DC20 Breakaway," for which he won an Emmy Award, and then joined WTTG-TV as the morning weatherman and feature reporter.

In 1998, Mr. Perkins joined Good Morning America, bringing viewers weather reports and feature stories throughout the early hours of the day. He covered dozens of hurricanes and weather events and interviewed many celebrities during his six years there.
Missing the Washington region, Mr. Perkins returned to WTTG in 2006, eventually anchoring the evening newscasts with Shawn Yancy and earning his second Emmy award.

In 2018, Mr. Perkins reunited with Donnie Simpson, this time on an afternoon show on MAJIC 102.3 and 92/7. He continues to co-host that show from 3 to 7 p.m. He also spent three years anchoring the morning news on WUSA-TV.
