Celebrating Generations
of Change-Makers

In 1946, Mosaic Miami—then known as MCCJ—began honoring Miamians with its Humanitarian Silver Medallion Award, selecting leaders whose inspiring involvement in our community aligned with our mission of building an inclusive Miami.

Every year, we unite the community in celebration of Miami’s diversity and in appreciation of those who have helped to build a more welcoming, inclusive, just and cooperative society. See below the list of previous Silver Medallion recipients who have made significant contributions to inclusivity, diversity, and community welfare in Miami.
