Founder’s Day HonoreesEach February, during Morehouse’s annual Founder’s Week celebration, the College’s alumni, friends and supporters gather for a memorable event, the “A Candle in the Dark” Gala. The Gala, which takes its name from the book that officially chronicles Morehouse’s history, serves as one of the College’s major annual fund-raising activities. Its goal is to generate revenue for the institution’s endowed scholarship fund. The black-tie event is designed to highlight the College’s tradition of producing leaders, showcase the oratorical skills of Morehouse students and pay tribute to nationally acclaimed African Americans who are pioneers and leaders in their respective fields. Honorees are presented with either a “Bennie” or a “Candle” award. This year’s Candle in the Dark Gala will be on Saturday, February 16. Six honorees will receive the awards. Please read more about their exciting and influential work below. Congratulations! |
