Guests were led into the ballroom by the enthusiastic drummers of the TAIKOPROJECT. The program was hosted by actress Eva LaRue and guests were treated to a Light Graffiti student video, a commanding performance by the Inner-City Arts Repertory Dance Company and a spoken word piece by Tray Bain and Cryss Bragg.
Our honorees enjoyed the evening among their family and friends, being celebrated for their civic engagement and contributions to the community. President of USC Dr. C.
