The evening will celebrate excellence, legacy, and the future of diverse voices in media. NABJ Sacramento will award scholarships to college students pursuing journalism, communications, and media studies at Sacramento-area institutions, helping cultivate the next generation of storytellers and media professionals. In addition, the event will honor pioneering Black journalists who broke barriers as &ldquo;firsts&rdquo; in Sacramento&rsquo;s media landscape, recognizing their contributions and the paths they forged for today&rsquo;s Black journalists working across the region.
