Congressman Hank Johnson honors local trailblazers with Black History Month Pioneer Awards
March 1, 2021
In honor of Black History Month, Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04) recognized four local sheriffs and a groundbreaking Georgia General Assembly secretary with Pioneer Awards for their service to Georgia's Fourth Congressional District — and their work to break down barriers and make history in the state.
"We are currently living in a pandemic, and we will not be able to host an in-person event, but that fact does not take away from the accomplishments these pioneers have achieved," said Rep. Johnson. "We will all continue to work together to carry the torch from honorees like Pioneer Award recipient Mrs. Lillian Foston Walker, who has truly blazed a trail for us to follow."
