Joined by the ANOBE Ensemble, Dr. Clark Joseph, Monya Davis Logan, Lesio Littlejohn and Cassidy Robinson, along with poet Leslie N.

This year’s A Night of Black Excellence will honor Commissioner Roy C. Brooks for his years of service to Tarrant Country and Fort Worth. As we look to highlight, celebrate and lift up the Black Men who lead and are pillars of our community, Songs of a Native Son will include musical performances that fill our souls and hearts.
