Announcing our 2026 Hall of Fame Winner and Logo! Announcing our 2026 Hall of Fame Awardee: Jonathan Guzman

Each year, the Bread & Roses Heritage Festival honors a community member who exemplifies the values and spirit of the Festival. We are thrilled to announce this year’s honoree, Jonathan Guzman.

As an elected at-large member of the Lawrence School Committee, Jonathan’s work has had a direct and lasting impact on students and families across the city. Through shaping school policy, overseeing budgets, and advocating for transparency and opportunity, his leadership reflects a deep belief in the power of education as a pathway to equity and growth. Beyond the local level, Jonathan’s work as Director of Environmental Justice and Equity at the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs represents a profound commitment to advancing justice on a broader scale. Through this role, he continues to uplift communities including Lawrence that have historically faced environmental and systemic inequities, ensuring that policy is created with fairness, access, and meaningful impact in mind.

We look forward to honoring Jonathan at this year’s Festival for his leadership, commitment, and unwavering dedication to the people of Lawrence.

Unveiling this year’s Logo

Once again, the Festival has partnered with youth at Movement City and Lawrence CommunityWorks to design this year’s logo. Stay tuned for announcements about how you can purchase this year’s merch.

This year’s logo designer, Franny, has this to say about her design:

"Hi! I’m Franny, and I am a freshman in high school. I have been a student at Movement City for three years. I have participated in every workshop Movement City offers. I’ve danced, rapped, and created both digital and traditional art. These last three years in the program have been the best of my life, Movement City has watched my confidence grow.

The inspiration for this logo came from my connection to the Movement City building itself specifically, the way the bricks are arranged. The word "community" also reminded me of my own community at Movement City. I chose to depict hands because I feel it is the simplest way to represent the community of Lawrence. “Built by Labor Powered by Community” is a title that represents that only the people that you're close with are the people that support you and your creations."

Anuncio de nuestro galardonado del Salón de la Fama 2026: Jonathan Guzman

Cada año, el Festival del Patrimonio Pan & Rosas rinde homenaje a un miembro de la comunidad que demuestra los valores y el espíritu del Festival. Estamos encantados de anunciar al homenajeado de este año, Jonathan Guzman.
Como miembro electo general del Comité Escolar de Lawrence, el trabajo de Jonathan ha tenido un impacto directo y duradero en los estudiantes y las familias de toda la ciudad. A través de las políticas escolares, la revisión de presupuestos y la abogacía por la transparencia y oportunidad, su liderazgo refleja una profunda convicción en el poder de la educación como un camino hacia la equidad y el crecimiento. Más allá del nivel local, el trabajo de Jonathan como Director de Justicia Ambiental y Equidad en la Oficina Ejecutiva de Energía y Asuntos Ambientales de Massachusetts representa un profundo compromiso con el avance de la justicia a una escala más amplia. A través de este rol, continúa elevando a las comunidades, como Lawrence, que históricamente han enfrentado desigualdades ambientales y sistémicas, asegurando que las políticas se creen teniendo en cuenta la equidad, el acceso y un impacto significativo.

Esperamos con ansias poder honrar a Jonathan en el Festival de este año por su liderazgo, compromiso y dedicación inquebrantable a la gente de Lawrence.

Revelación del Logo de este año

Una vez más, el Festival ha colaborado con jóvenes de Movement City y Lawrence CommunityWorks para diseñar el logotipo de este año. Estén atentos a los anuncios sobre cómo pueden comprar la mercancía de este año.
La diseñadora del logotipo de este año, Franny, tiene esto que decir sobre su diseño:

"¡Hola! Soy Franny, y soy estudiante de primer año de secundaria. He sido estudiante en Movement City durante tres años. He participado en todos los talleres que ofrece Movement City. He bailado, rapeado y creado arte digital y tradicional. Estos últimos tres años en el programa han sido los mejores de mi vida, Movement City ha visto crecer mi confianza.

La inspiración para este logo provino de mi conexión con el edificio de Movement City, específicamente, la forma en que están dispuestos los ladrillos. La palabra "comunidad" también me recordó a mi propia comunidad en Movement City. Elegí diseñar manos porque siento que es la forma más sencilla de representar a la comunidad de Lawrence. “Construido por Trabajo Impulsado por la Comunidad” es un título que representa que solo las personas cercanas a ti son las que te apoyan a ti y a tus creaciones."

Black History is not just a month, it’s movement.

It’s labor. It’s art. It’s resistance. It’s joy.
At the Bread & Roses Heritage Festival, we honor the workers, the dreamers, the organizers, and the storytellers who built foundations with their hands and powered communities with their hearts.

This Black History Month, we celebrate the brilliance that continues to shape our cities, our culture, and our future.

Built by labor. Powered by community.
Yesterday. Today. Always.
