PORTSMOUTH – The inaugural Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) Seacoast Leaders awards ceremony Sunday night, Feb. 28, went well and will be an annual event, according to organizers.
Clifton West Jr., one of the co-founders of Black Lives Matter Seacoast, the host organization for the event, said he was pleased with the evening.
“It went better than I thought it would, for the first time,” said West. “I found the stories that were told, and the passion displayed inspiring. It was such a beautiful event. I look forward to the next one.”
The event is intended to highlight people of color whose work has benefitted the Seacoast region.
