To have the award as it is seems as if the school is trying too hard to be inclusive. When people do that, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I am not against race selective (for lack of a better term) awards, but why MLK? I think the MLK award should perhaps go to the student who has exhibited humantarian skills. That just makes more sense to me. But, JMO!

yeah we have an MLK award here at GW and it's not race selective. I agree that the legacy of MLK probably wouldn't include an award that was just for Black folk. Now a Marcus Garvey Award....
