Well, was asked to do the " I have a Dream" speech again for Union City, NJ and was pleasantly surprised that I was awarded an Artistic Achievment Award from the City of Union City and the City Commissioners. And if that was not enough, I received an Artistic Commendation via the 33rd Legislative District of the State of New Jersey.
It was a day full of surprises for me and these awards were a total surprise. My thanks and appreciation go out to all involved in setting these up. It is nice to see something return when you put so much work into it. Here are images of the awards:
