2026 Robert H. Friebert Social Justice Award
Evelyn Price
Founder and Director of South East Asian Tutoring and former UWM professor
The JCRC’s Robert H. Friebert Social Justice Award recognizes individuals who demonstrate courage, passion, dedication and leadership while working to eliminate discrimination and injustice in the greater Milwaukee area. Recipients need not be Jewish.
A prominent Milwaukee attorney and activist, Robert H. Friebert was driven to pursue social justice through the law and public service. He believed deeply that everyone deserves equal social, economic and political rights.
Friebert served as the president of the Milwaukee Jewish Council for Community Relations, now the Jewish Community Relations Council of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation. Watch a video about Bob’s commitment to social justice.
This award was created by Bob’s family and friends as a way to continue his legacy as a fierce advocate for justice.
