DescriptionColor photograph of Community Group Diversity Award winner: Juneteenth Subcommittee.This award honors Pastor Anita Bullock, Michelle Brooks-Totress, Kim Dartez, and Louanna Faine, from the Juneteenth Subcommittee of the Tempe African American Advisory Committee. These four ladies worked together to make the first City of Tempe Juneteenth event happen in Tempe in 2014. The event was very successful, with over 500 people in attendance. The planning and implementation was done in less than two months, with no formal budget. The women used their community contacts to bring in entertainment and in-kind resources. Having an event such as this gives great pride to the African-American community of Tempe, because for many years residents of Tempe had to travel to surrounding cities to celebrate their heritage.
