The Washington Examiner’s Phillip Klein took home the Professional Journalist award; Duane Lester from All American Blogger received the award for best blog, and Andrew Marcus won the Citizen Journalist award for his work with Hating Breitbart – a movie celebrating the work and life of Andrew Breitbart. As reported earlier this week at Politico, John Fund, the senior editor of The American Spectator, and Sonnie Johnson, of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, spoke tonight.

Sonnie Johnson gave a wonderful speech tonight in Providence urging conservatives to continue the fight for our great nation.
