The Nation Builder Awards were
established to recognize those African Americans who have distinguished
themselves through lifelong service and dedication to the enfranchisement
and inclusion of Americans of African descent into the national
body of politics. In 1995, the Nation Builder Awards Ceremony was
renamed to honor the late David P. Richardson, Jr. (1948-95), a
23-year member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and
NBCSL's third president.
NBCSL is proud to honor this year's Nation Builder Recipients who
have all made significant contributions to, and laid the foundation
for the political, economic and social progress of African Americans.
