Through Archewell, Harry and Meghan have helped a women's shelter in Texas that was hit hard by deadly winter weather in February of last year, advocated for COVID-19 vaccine equity at Global Citizen Live in New York City and partnered with Chef José Andrés' World Central Kitchen to build four community relief centers in regions across the globe disproportionately impacted by hunger.

This year's inaugural NAACP-Archewell Digital Civil Rights Award recipient is Dr. Safiya Noble, an internet studies scholar and professor of gender studies and African American studies at UCLA -- and a pioneer in how digital technologies intersect with culture, race and gender.
