It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Franklin Eaves. As a strong ally for the Deaf community and staple for NAOBI-ATLANTA, he will be greatly missed. His contributions to our organization and the profession of sign language interpreting will never be forgotten.
We will honor Franklin in the coming months for his tireless efforts to make NAOBI-ATLANTA a place where interpreters of color can soar. Details will be provided soon.
The mission of NAOBI-Atlanta is to provide African American and Black Sign Language Interpreters a forum which fosters achievement and continued professional development, as well as a support mechanism where all African American and Black Interpreters can work towards excellence.

This is for all of NAOBI (not just NAOBI-Atlanta).
