This year’s 9th Annual Leadership Awards from the Center for Ethical Leadership will present honors to three local individuals, including the Central District’s own K. Wyking Garrett.

Center whose mission is “to inspire and empower youth through Positive Education, Art, Culture & Enterprise (P.E.A.C.E.) from our African-American and Central Seattle roots.” Garrett is a lifelong Central District resident. He was recently involved in the More 4 Mann youth program efforts at the Horace Mann building.
