Marietta gears up to celebrate Black History Month with the 2nd Annual Avant Garde Awards, hosted by the Cobb District Attorney's Office. Set to take place on Tuesday, February 10, from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, this event isn't just another luncheon, it's a nod to those pushing the boundaries in our very midst.
Held at the Jim Miller Park Event Center at 2245 Callaway Road SW, the awards will honor community members whose ideas and work have placed them at the forefront of innovation and social change.
So, why the Avant Garde Awards? "Avant garde means the “vanguard” or the “advanced guard” in French," reads an announcement on the Cobb County's official website. "It means the people and ideas that are ahead of their time." This event is more than a celebration; it is an acknowledgment of the strides made and the distances still to be journeyed, an emblematic compass pointing toward a future crafted by the daring and resolute. Those who wish to attend are asked to RSVP by emailing [email protected].
