Niagara Falls Black Achievers honor 19 from the community

For the second year, the Niagara Falls Black Achievers honored 19 Niagara County individuals who worked to improve their communities.

More than 500 people came out to the Niagara Falls Convention Center Saturday night for this year’s awards gala. Six of the honorees were given a special award after being nominated by a committee, while the other awardees were nominated by their employer or a sponsor.
