This milestone program is unique its reflection of multicultural America and the power of civic engagement and constituency partnerships in building livable communities. Patronage of the efforts enable viable institutions that improve the quality of life in the civil society.
The United States is a riveting story of the tapestry of America's diversity. The narratives may be unique with each population and generation but the contributions and shared responsibility intersect to build a better nation.
The program salutes the voice and valor of individuals and institutions that promote an equitable, inclusive and humane society in our increasingly global and inter-connected society. In deed, new and emerging Continental African community (African immigrants and descendants ) are beneficiaries of these ideals won and championed by institutions, men and women of diverse racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds and offices. We say thanks to the Honorees who embody the spirit of sacrifice, duty, conscience and moral courage.
The program also celebrates Black History Month. " The history of African Americans is unique and rich, and one that has helped to define what it means to be an American. Arriving on ships on the shores of North America more than 300 years ago, recognized more as possessions than people, African Americans have come to know the freedoms fought for in establishing the United States and gained through the use of our founding principles of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to assembly, and due process of law. The ideals of the Founders became more real and more true for every citizen as African Americans pressed us to realize our full potential as a Nation and to uphold those ideals for all who enter into our borders and embrace the notion that we are all endowed with certain unalienable rights." Barack Obama.
During the Black History Month, volunteers are teaching African American History and conducting education tours to historic African American sites.
