KOTC 2025
This year’s Keepers of the Culture Event was hosted by the San Diego History Museum. We were graced by the opening, which was introduced by the San Diego African American Museum of Fine Arts. Some of San Diego’s finest who were honored included California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley Webber. She was honored for her extensive contributions to Black culture, education, and civil rights, including founding the Earl B. Gillum Bar Association.
Dr. Webber was in great company with the Cooper Family Foundation, which has worked tirelessly in our community to provide safety and security through food and care. The Coopers also founded a Juneteenth celebration and provided us with BBQ and Black history in honor of their father.
The next recipient, Ron Dhanifu, who has educated the Black community for years about art and music, was celebrated for his contributions to radio. And lastly Martha R. Logan of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. has diligently served in American financing in association with Lincoln University. Theo and Martha Logan have promoted positive economic development and progress consistently with Black excellence.
