LBJ DINNER GOING VIRTUAL

THURSDAY, MAY 7, 2020

HMH’s annual dinner is its largest fundraising event of the year and raises critical funds to support the institution. Due to the continually evolving COVID-19 situation, we’ve made the decision to turn our 2020 LBJ Moral Courage Award Dinner into a virtual event. We are planning an online program and invite you and your family and friends to join us on May 7, 2020, at 7:00 p.m. (CDT).

We will celebrate moral courage from WWII to the current day, present the 2020 Lyndon Baines Johnson Moral Courage Award to the family of the late Brigadier General Felix L. Sparks, and hear a virtual conversation with WWII Historian and New York Times bestselling author Alex Kershaw and Holocaust Survivor Pinchas Gutter.

We thank all of our dinner sponsors who have extended their support to the Museum’s ongoing operations. All gifts in support of the event are now fully tax deductible.

Join the Museum in celebrating the 75th Anniversary of V-E Day with a Tribute Gift in honor or memory of a loved one or Holocaust Survivor. All tribute donors of $180 or more will receive access to view the LBJ Moral Courage Award Virtual Event and receive recognition in the virtual event’s pre-show presentation. Your gift will be put to immediate use and enable HMH’s dedicated to create new digital content about the Holocaust and Human Rights for educators, parents, and students.

Holocaust Museum Houston created the Lyndon Baines Johnson Moral Courage Award in 1994 in cooperation with the Johnson family. In 1938, as a young congressman, Johnson stretched the limits of his authority and risked his personal dreams to provide American sanctuary for threatened European Jews. It is because of these acts of moral courage that the Museum proudly named the award in his honor. The award recognizes either a single righteous act or a lifetime of morally courageous behavior.
