through Reconciliation and Diversity
Thursday, January 18, 2001 - 4:00PM
On behalf of the Rollins School of Public Health, the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, and the Goizueta Business School of Emory University, we thank you for your participation in the 2001 Community Service Awards Program in memory of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Our celebration this year was festive and academically enriching.
 The centerpiece of our program was author Mark Mathabane. Mark Mathabane touched the hearts of millions with his sensational autobiography Kaffir Boy. Telling the true story of his coming of age under apartheid in South Africa, the book topped the charts on the New York Times and Washington Post bestseller lists and was translated into several languages.
  In addition to our speaker, our program featured uplifting musical selections by vocalist Angela Alexander, Emory's own gospel group, D'Vine, and pianist Jimmie Byrd.
Our celebration culminated in the recognition of individuals,
community organizations, and businesses that have significantly
promoted reconciliation in metro Atlanta. May we all join to raise Dr. King's ideals to great heights in the new millennium. 2001 Community Service Awards Ceremony Planning Committee Co-Chairs
