The Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists celebrated half a century of black media excellence on Saturday evening, and CBS News Philadelphia’s Ukee Washington was among the winners.
Ukee was inducted into the PABJ Hall of Fame during the organization’s 50th anniversary gala in University City, hosted by CBS News Philadelphia sports director Don Bell.
PABJ is the first established professional association of black journalists in the country. Saturday night’s gala honors leaders in journalism, public relations and the community.
WURD President and CEO Sara Lomax, WDAS radio broadcaster Patty Jackson, communications expert Barbara Grant and attorney and journalist Renée Chenault Fattah were also inducted into the PABJ’s inaugural Hall of Fame.
