Congressional Black Caucus Chair Steven Horsford to receive NNPA Leadership Award for pursuit of social justice and equity

Congressional Black Caucus Chair Steven Horsford said his commitment to marginalized communities, Black America, and his Democratic colleagues has always been unwavering. The 2023 National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) Leadership Award recipient’s leadership and tireless efforts in a divided and near-broken Congress have served as a beacon of hope for countless individuals, particularly people of color.

On Friday, September 22, 2023, Horsford will step front and center at the Marriott Marquis in the heart of the nation’s capital, with other recipients of the Leadership Award as the NNPA, the trade association of the Black Press of America, honor his contributions to the pursuit of social justice and equity which have garnered recognition and ignited meaningful change across the nation.

Prior to the ceremony and the kickoff of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Annual Legislative Conference, Horsford held a private gathering to discuss the week ahead. At the event, he told the Black Press that the 2023 Leadership Award counts as a significant acknowledgment he wouldn’t take for granted.
