The CARAH Awards celebrates the Who's Who of Caribbean American heritage and Friends of the Caribbean.
Honorees include the legendary Cicely Tyson who has roots in the twin island nation of St. Kitts & Nevis; US Attorney General Eric Holder and Earl Graves, publisher of Black Enterprise who have their roots in Barbados; and Ambassador Andrew Young.
The CARAH Awards which is under the patronage of the Caribbean Diplomatic Corps is the can't miss event of the Caribbean American community. If there was such a thing as a Caribbean American Hall of Fame, the CARAH Honorees would all be members.
