SUN VILLAGE, Calif.—On Friday night the founding members of the originally all-Black town and Jackie Robinson Park came together for an elegant evening to honor a tradition set by pioneers at the Fountain of Hope Awards Banquet.

Honorees included Bernyse Hunter, 97, who earned her Ph.D. at the young age of 91 and who was a member of the original Sun Village Women’s Club, and Olene Cleveland who has been serving hungry Sun Village residents for more than 20 years at her home and faith-based foundation, Love’s Open Doors.
