I have received a Lifetime Achievement Award from President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and the Martin Luther King Jr. Drum Major Community Service Award from Presidents Barack Obama and Donald J. Trump. A testament to my work in Pine Bluff appears in the U.S. House of Representatives Congressional Records and the United States National Archives. I have six letters from six U.S. presidents. The first Pine Bluff resident to speak at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., and the University of Notre Dame Law School event, the first in Arkansas to receive the 400 Distinguished Award from the 400 Years of African American History Federal Commission. Traveling across the country to speak and learn gives me standing in Pine Bluff. My work here and recognized nationally is to improve my community to be better and a safer place to live and raise children.
