The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity honors individuals who best exemplify the late Dr. Martin Luther King’s commitment to scholastic achievement, social justice, community service, civic affairs and business. This year’s award is being given in the category of social justice, and Mary Maxwell will be the recipient. The Social Justice award is given to a person or group whose commitment to social justice for minorities, women, handicapped and others is unquestioned.
Ms. Maxwell is this year’s “champion of equal rights.” Â
The award will be presented at the fraternity’s upcoming annual Dr. Martin Luther King Commemorative Luncheon on Friday, January 17, 2014, in downtown Orlando at the Ballroom at Church Street Station. The event starts at 11:30am and will end by 1:30pm.
Congratulations, Ms. Maxwell.
