Celebrating Black History Makers in Zachary
In February 2025, Black History Month is honored by sharing the stories of extraordinary Black individuals and families in Zachary who have made significant contributions to history. These stories reflect not only personal achievements but also the resilience and dreams passed down through generations, creating a legacy rooted in history and endless possibilities.
Henry “Hots” Williams, a beloved figure in Zachary, dedicated himself to various roles within the community, leaving a lasting impact. Mayo Brew, Sr., faced challenges during the Civil Rights Movement, standing up against segregation and injustice, leading to his arrest and exile from his hometown. Despite adversity, Mayo's commitment to justice remained unwavering, shaping his life of service and community engagement.
U.S. Army Captains Quinlan and Alexis Motley exemplify a family mission of honoring their history while striving for a brighter future through service, impact, and generational progress. Their ventures, My Kid Plate Foundation and Pishon Consulting Firm, showcase their dedication to uplifting others and creating meaningful community impacts.
