* *The Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awardย was established inย 2011ย whenย BMORENews.comย joined forces withย Sisters4Sisters Network, Inc. Originally named the Black Capital Awards, the name was changed to the Joe Manns BWS Award, named after the late owner of Joe Manns Awards and Trophies (now namedย Legacy Awards) inย Gwynn Oak, MD.ย Leamon Bestย first introduced us to Joe Manns and he is actually the inspiration behind the awards. As for Joe Manns, he had a heart for the community. Period. Since the onset, BMORENews.com and its Partners have recognized over 2,500 individuals in 9 US cities, includingย New York, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Richmond, Atlanta, New Orleans, Montgomery, Las Vegas, and Tulsa. In short, we celebrate Black entrepreneurs and professionals as well as the people who support them regardless of race.
