Held at Amityville Memorial High School, the theme of this year’s event was “African Americans and the Vote” and featured a keynote address from Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon, the first African American sheriff and first African American elected official to hold a non-judicial countywide office in Suffolk County.

The event also featured live performances, vendors and honorees from the area who received special recognition for their contributions to the local community.
