The awards were presented during the Bread and Roses Luncheon at the Explorer Hotel on March 8, 2011 where a former recipient of the award, Lyda Fuller, spoke to the achievements of women leading the way to social change. Dawn Lacey, also a former recipient of the award led us in the traditional song that was sung at the Bread and Roses March a century ago.
