"In our Las Vegas, we have many heroes and sheroes who have worked over the year to make Las Vegas a warm and welcoming place for all," said Nicole Lise, the festival's vice chair.
Organizers also recognized the late Stella Mason Parson, the first African-American woman to graduate from college in Nevada. The former Clark County school teacher graduated with a bachelor's degree from University of Nevada, Reno, and a master's from UNLV. She died last summer.
