The AADP focuses on five basic components that help to strengthen the community: Business, Education, Health, Politics/Government & Arts/Culture. Each year we choose one of these sectors as our theme and we invite those that have contributed to that field to act as our Grand Marshals, Marshals, and Honorary Guests. This year the AADP theme is “GOOD HEALTH IS ESSENTIAL” and will honor individuals that have contributed to the African American community in the field of HEALTH. We are pleased to highlight those who have shown positively contributed to the success and dignity of the community
