TSOPMI presented five awards to local black philanthropists and organizations in the greater Washtenaw County area. The awards ceremony took place as part of the opening reception for a pop-up art gallery featuring works from an exhibition entitled Giving Back: The Soul of Philanthropy Reframed and Exhibited.

The exhibition was organized by TSOPMI and highlights Black philanthropy. "We're thrilled to bring this nationally acclaimed exhibit to Michigan. We (Black Americans) have a long, rich history of giving. Our giving extends well beyond monetary contributions," said TSOPMI co-chair Collin Mays.

The pop-up gallery is now open from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM until March 25, at the Washtenaw Community College Morris Lawrence Building, and is a sample of a larger installation that will be on display in Detroit this summer. The exhibition presents pieces that honor, celebrate, and sustain the rich traditions of giving within African American communities.
