About 200 people packed the Franklin Institute Sept. 28 to pay tribute to local community activists selected by Bread & Roses Community Fund for their contributions to social change. This year’s Tribute to Change Awards featured such honorees as Paul Robeson Lifetime Achievement winner Carmen Febo-San Miguel, as well as Phil Straus, Dorothy Johnson-Speight, Blanca Pacheco and Scribe Video Center. Legacy Awards were presented in memoriam to Jonathan Schmidt and LGBT activists Walter Lear and Larry Frankel. Photo: Scott Drake
