Each year, the Black History Intercollegiate Consortium (BHIC) hosts a program celebrating the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. During this event, five deserving individuals (one from each participating college/university) receives the MLK, Jr. Humanitarian Award. Faculty, staff, and community members who have demonstrated a commitment to racial equity and/or social justice on or off the College of Charleston campus are eligible for the award. Last year’s awardee was Professor Emerita Joy Vandervort-Cobb.
