Awards
Continued from page 1 include Pastor Patrinell Wright, the Colorlines Dance Company, and the Northwest Tap Connection. Karen Vargas, Eddie Rye Jr. and Regina Hill will be honored for their efforts to get a Bremerton street named after the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And comedian Tracie Davis will be honored for her work as a community leader. This is Moore Jackson’s third year organizing the awards, which she founded to honor AfricanAmericans who have
Friday, February 14, 2014 influenced Washington in the past or are making a difference today. “This is to give some encouragement and awareness of what African-American people have always been doing,” she said. Another special honoree this year is Lane Dowell, a former Bremerton teacher. Though not AfricanAmerican, he was an influential figure to black students. “When we were coming up, we didn’t have AfricanAmerican teachers,” Moore Jackson said. “He took us underneath his wing ... he saw us through school and through barriers.”
Moore Jackson said Dowell helped AfricanAmerican students make the grade in a time when communities were separate and the helpful notion wasn’t popular. “We need to share about white teachers that went beyond the call of duty and risked their jobs to help us be successful and have an equal education,” she said. “This is in appreciation for what he did for us, even though he got in trouble.” The awards event is free, though donations are welcome.
