All ACBA members are invited to celebrate Black History Month with the ACBA Homer S. Brown Division.

The event commemorates the founding of Black History Month. During this event, the HSBD Spirit Award will be presented to Jerrel Gilliam, Executive Director of the Light of Life Rescue Mission. The Spirit Award is presented to an individual or organization who has exhibited leadership qualities, as well as a commitment to the promotion of equality and the advancement of justice among the African-American community.

Additionally, HSBD will present its Young Leader Award to Gabrielle Lee. The Young Leader Award is given to a HSBD member under the age of 40 who has actively participated in HSBD and at least one other committee, division or section of the ACBA. There is no cost to attend, but registration is required.
