Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Scholarship Luncheon
Sponsored by the UNF Intercultural Center

Each February, the University of North Florida honors the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a scholarship luncheon.  Proceeds from the luncheon provide for annual scholarships awarded to undergraduate students. The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship serves to recognize the academic and service achievements of actively engaged students who best exemplify Dr. King's teachings through service and action.

The 42nd Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Scholarship Luncheon will be held at noon on Wednesday, February 8th in the UNF Adam W. Herbert University Center. The keynote speaker is Cheryl Brown Henderson, Brown v. Board of Education Originator and Civil Rights Activists. 

Ms. Brown Henderson is one of the three daughters of the late Rev. Oliver L. Brown who in the fall of 1950 along with 12 other parents in Topeka, Kansas, led by attorneys for the NAACP, filed suit on behalf of their children against the local Board of Education. Their case joined with cases from Delaware, South Carolina, Virginia and Washington, D.C. on appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and on May 17, 1954, became known as the landmark decision; Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. This case was legally named for Oliver Brown, i.e., Oliver L. Brown et. al. vs. the Board of Education of Topeka, KS. et. al. 

Ms. Brown Henderson is the Founding President of The Brown Foundation for Educational Equity, Excellence and Research, and owner of Brown & Associates, educational consulting firm. She has extensive background in education, business and civic leadership, having served on and chaired various local, state and national Boards.
