About this Event

Emerald and Pearl Women's Awards hosted by the Conrad Worrill Community Reparations Commission


COME JOIN US at 740 West 63rd Street, Chicago, IL 60621 on June 27, 2026 from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm as the Conrad Worrill Community Reparations Commission (CWCRC) warmly invites you to join us for the 2026 Emerald and Pearl Awards, a celebration of powerful, strong black men and women who work dilegently to uplift their communities, while driving transformative change.



The purpose of this celebration is to showcase unsung heros and heroines whose tireless efforts often go unnoticed but are vital to the progress of our society. Through their dedication, resilience, and advocacy, these men and women embody the spirit of empowerment and justice that fuels our mission for reparatory justice.


Together, let us recognize their contributions, share in their stories, and celebrate their achievements. The Emerald and Pearl Awards is more than an event—it’s a movement to shine a spotlight on those who inspire change from behind the scenes.
