John Blake of WHUR Fm 96.3, Maureen Bunyan of Channel 7 WJLA and Neki Mohan of ABC10 Miami headlined the sold out prestigious Caribbean American Heritage Awards in 2008. With pulsating beats from the Image Band over 400 revelers weathered the rain and Washingtons G20 traffic to take in the sights and sounds of Caribbean American Excellence at the historic Capitol Hilton.
Washington DC Deputy Mayor Hon. Neil Albert who stopped in to pick up his Award for Public Service was feted along with the Hon. Helen Marshall a veteran political operative and Borough President of Queens, and medical genius Dr. Cato Laurencin. Marcia Griffiths got the crowd grooving with Electric Slide.
