Fredericksburg — The elegant Black and Gold Gala was held at the Fredericksburg Convention Center on May 31 from 6 p.m. to midnight. Johnnie Walker, president of the 501(c)(3) organization LEADE, has organized the event for the past three years, though the gala has taken place annually since 1984. Originally, Walker hosted the celebration on Martin Luther King Jr. Day but began holding it in late May or early June to honor graduating high school students.
