Congratulations!!

This year will be hosted in the seat of the Civil Rights Movement: across the road from where the Freedom Riders joined together with ASU alumnus, the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and other civil rights leaders to continue the rides from ASU’s First Baptist Church after the attacks at the Greyhound Station in Anniston, AL: and steps from the birth home of Nat “King” Cole. Just a few minutes into the Heart of the Capital City, towards the river, are the Legacy Museum and MiLB Biscuits at Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium. This year’s event is not just a chance to celebrate the Awardees but a monumental opportunity to celebrate DEI and all the progress made and to honor all the changes to come.
