2016 Annual Pillars Awards
The Black Affairs Advisory Board hosted their annual "Community Pillars" awards and scholarship presentation on Saturday, June 18, 2016 at the
Historic Hampton House. Each year, the Black Affairs Advisory Board's Black Heritage Planning Committee selects and recognizes individuals or organizations that often work behind the scene without intentionally seeking recognition. Now in its sixteenth year, the event has honored over 200 individuals in the South Florida area in categories including education, business, media, advocacy and public service. For the past nine years, "Young Pillars" have received scholarships to continue their post high school education. They are selected based on their academic goals and community service.
