2021 BOB Awards: The Best of the Best in Charlotte
We’ve named the Best of the Best every year for the past 22, and they’ve always meant something. This year, they mean a little more.

So patronize, visit, play. We’ve gotten through it together. We’ll handle the future that way, too.

How a Local Historian Uncovered Trezzvant Anderson, the Charlotte Civil Rights Hero You’ve Never Heard Of
Only a few in his hometown know the name. He wasn’t much for self-promotion.
