The Arizona Informant Newspaper will be hosting its 50th anniversary dinner gala Thursday, Dec. 9, at the Arizona Grande Resort & Spa in Phoenix. The evening will begin with a reception and silent auction at 6pm. The awards program and dinner will start promptly at 7pm.
The awardees for the evening are: Rev. Bernard Black, founding pastor of South Phoenix Baptist Church (receiving a posthumous award); Milt Cannon, legendary jazz musician; the Hon. Chris- tine Ellis, Chandler City Council woman; Booker Evans, Phoenix
As an Awardee, I have never been more proud of being honored by the most important element of my hope and destiny, the free and open African-American Press.
I am truly blessed and thankful for receiving this honor from the Azinformant!
