The Black History Museum Archives Awards Gala at the Mary Sue Rich Community Center at Reed Place was a lovely celebration and tribute to a panel of exemplary locals — honoring them for their leadership, distinguished work, special achievement, or for pioneering as the first Black in a particular field. Honorees were:

• Wantanisha Morant            • Theresa Boston Ellis

• Clyde Neasma                      • Jamie Gilmore and Eddie Rocker Sr.

• Barbara Brooks                     • Regas Woods

• Cynthia Wilson-Graham      • Carolyn Adams and the late Arthur Adams

• James Stockton.                  • Rose Thomas
