City of Winter Haven-
Winter Haven’s story is shaped by many extraordinary individuals — and during Black History Month, we take time to recognize those whose contributions continue to inspire progress and unity across our community.
We invite all residents to help celebrate this legacy by nominating local Black leaders, past or present, who have made a lasting impact on Winter Haven. A committee of community members will review nominations and select 2026’s four Local Heroes, each of whom exemplifies passion, integrity, and a deep commitment to serving others.
Throughout Black History Month, the City of Winter Haven will highlight each honoree and their story — celebrating not only individual achievement, but also the collective spirit that strengthens our city.
