9TH ANNUAL Men of Excellence 2016
DEFINING EXCELLENCE
EXCELLENCE as: the fact or state of excelling; superiority, eminence; an exceptional quality or feature.
According to the Chicago Defender, EXCELLENCE is defined through demonstration and performance of those men it honors annually.
Excellence is often difficult to describe, yet recognition is immediate upon seeing it.
Rest assured, it is never happenstance. It is always the result of focus, great intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skillful execution, commitment to be your best self and the vision to see life's challenges as opportunities.
This evening the Chicago Defender recognizes 50 MEN OF EXCELLENCE nominated by Chicago Defender readers.
A blue ribbon panel of impartial and anonymous judges had the arduous task of making the final selections from the hundreds of names submitted. We salute each of the men whose credentials were submitted who are not listed this year, as well as the thousands of men known and unknown who reflect excellence daily.
This year the Black man has come under much scrutiny and we would be remiss if we did not acknowledge those whose lives were taken too soon, whether psychologically or physically.
We acknowledge our honorées because they are the ones who persevere against the adversity that faces them daily, threatening their very existence, and contribute to others, often making a difference in the lives of others, in particular other young Black men.
What Makes a Chicago Defender
MAN of EXCELLENCE?
They are men bound by a personal code of ethics that demands accountability and integrity. They are men who exercise self-control, demonstrate personal strength and courage, and possess power as well as grandeur. They are men who care more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical, and expect more than others think possible.
Who are the Chicago Defender MEN of EXCELLENCE?
These powerful men - some quiet and under the radar, others bold and flying high - are public and private figures. They are leaders, motivators and educators.
They are entrepreneurs, corporate executives, civil servants, and other professionals.
They are men who grasp the pursuit of excellence and strive to live exemplary lives. They are men who have made their mark in society and are reaching forward by reaching back to assist those who want to move ahead.
They are men who dare to dream the impossible and then work to make it happen, like Dr.
They are men who persevere, like

This historical year marks the formal beginning (
An attorney originally, Abbott refused to accept the "place" that would be assigned to him, so White law firms refused to hire him. He defied them and convention by establishing the newspaper.
The Defender published controversial editorials encouraging Blacks to leave the oppressive South and go North to seek opportunity that could lead to greater self-determination. Eventually, almost seven million Blacks moved out of the rural South to the urban North, Midwest and Western parts of the country between 1910 and 1970.
During its 110 years history, the Chicago Defender has witnessed, recognized, and celebrated excellence - celebrated the men who have crossed the bridges on the backs of those who have gone before them, blazing trails, breaking ceilings and charting new courses.
