The Indiana County chapter of the NAACP has announced the recipients of the 2024 Shirley Sadler Reeder Memorial Scholarship.
The scholarship is named in honor of Reeder, a multi-term president of the local NAACP branch. She was instrumental with the branch’s founding in 1976. She died in 1995, and in that year, a scholarship that had been awarded since 1988 was renamed in her honor.
