   "STILL I RISE"
Maya Angelou

16TH ANNUAL BLACK HISTORY MAKERS AWARDS DINNER (cont.)

In recognition of the need to embrace both the after effects of the violent demolition of lower Manhattan and the work that Associated Black Charities does daily in helping less fortunate African Americans in New York City rise from very dire and life-constraining circumstances, the Board of Directors selected Maya Angelou's "Still I Rise" as the theme for the 16th Annual Black History Makers Awards Dinner.

"Still I Rise," therefore, brings into common view and balances the challenges arising from September 11 and the pre-existing, on-going demands of New Yorkers for help in resurrecting lives stymied by a cauldron of social ills. As well, it is especially resonant with the indomitable will and spirit of African Americans and other New Yorkers to prevail against adversity.

For questions about the dinner, please direct your inquiries to Brian Husbands at 212-838-2660, Ext. 20.

You may also communicate with him via fax at 212-826-8825 or e-mail at bhusbands@loreleievents.com.
