2008 Woodie Awards
MLK Award Coverage
Issue date: 1/31/06 Section: Letters to the Editor
On January 17, 2006 at the MLK program when Angela Davis was the speaker, the giving of the MLK award was heard by over a thousand plus people that stayed after Ms. Davis finished her speech. A lot stayed for the close of the program, to shake hands, hug, talk and get autographs of Ms. Davis and others.
Your article did not mention what an honor it was to speak before the speaker or to be the person to be able to introduce Ms. Davis, the name of the person presenting the award nor the person receiving the award. All are persons of UNCG staff and students who took it as an honor to be on the program with Ms. Davis. Ms. Davis is gone, and the students and staff members are still here.
Those that couldn't make it to the program need to know all facts of what a great program it was. From the ushers, choir, security, those that put the program together and all that had a hand in the making it a success, someone should be saying THANK YOU. I didn't get the newsletter. Is there an article on the program and the student that won the MLK service award in the newsletter?
