Steve Harvey recently hosted his sold-out, three-day 2016 State Farm Neighborhood Awards.
Rapper Doug E. Fresh headlined a “Freedom Friday” concert, while acts like Maxwell, The O’Jays and Erykah Badu hit the stage at Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas.
The Neighborhood Awards, formerly known as “The Hoodie Awards,” was created by Steve Harvey and Rushion McDonald.
The event celebrates men and women from all over the United States who uplift their neighborhoods through their contributions and excellence as entrepreneurs, religious and community leaders, educators and more.
