The Media Justice Trailblazer Winners
Media Justice Trailblazer Nomination
Shiloh Community Development, Incorporated has received a grant from the Alaska Community Foundation to support
SCDI’s Media Justice project, a storytelling effort designed to share achievements and contributions of African
American trailblazers in Alaska through a series of vignettes. These 8-10 vignettes will air statewide on television,
radio, etc. annually during Black History Month in February. As we celebrate Black History Month, it's important
to look back at the brave men and women who faced off against prejudice and bigotry in order to
share their unique talents with the world. Whether they were involved in Civil Rights, politics, science,
technology, sports, or music, African-American history is full of innovators, though they don't always get
their due.
