HUNTSVILLE — The Huntsville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will welcome one of the nation’s leading civil rights voices this summer when it hosts its Annual Social Action Luncheon on Saturday, July 25, 2026.

This year’s theme, “The Time Is Now: Hope in Action; Strength in Unity,” reflects the organization’s focus on civic engagement, social justice, community empowerment, and collective action.

Under his leadership, the nation’s oldest civil rights organization has continued its efforts to address issues affecting communities across the country.
Organizers expect the luncheon to bring together community leaders, elected officials, business professionals, educators, clergy, and residents from across North Alabama for an afternoon of inspiration and dialogue.
