Black Legend Awards - Silicon Valley Ceremony
The Black community has been established in the Santa Clara valley for more the 150 years. The Antioch Baptist Church was organized in 1893 and The First African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church was founded in 1864. The church has always been the foundation for the black community. There is an African phrase that says "We must go back and reclaim our past so we can move forward; so we understand why and how we came to be who we are today." Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, said "We are not makers of history we are made by history."
The Black Legend Award Ceremony is an opportunity for honoring the black pioneers of the Silicon Valley. These Black Pioneers left footprints in Technology, Business, Public Service, Education, Medicine, Law, and City Government. There accomplishments need to showcase to the black youth and shared in the black community and beyond. If we do not tell their stories, who will?
The Black Legend Awards Ceremony is a fundraiser for the establishment of the Black History Museum - Silicon Valley. These Black Pioneers will be inducted into the Black Legends Hall of Fame. The Black Legends Hall of Fame will be an exhibit hall within the Black History Museum. This will be the permanent display for showcasing the recipients of the ten inaugural awards presented.
