Mays Nominated For Award
President emeritus Dr. Ben
jamin Elijah Mays has been
nominated for the Presidential
Medal of Freedom.
Congressman Wyche Fowler,
Jr. (D/Ga) and other Con
gressmen have introduced a
resolution to award the
Presidential Medal of Freedom
to Dr. Mays.
The Presidential Medal of
Freedom honor is the highest
civilian honor in the U.S. It only
seems right to recognize an
individual who, after serving
Morehouse College for thirty
years, went on to serve as
chairman of the Atlanta Baord of
Education for twelve years.
Dr. Mays has received fifty-
by Munson Steed
two honorary doctorate degrees,
and has written eight books and
100 magazine articles. He has
written on such topics as, “Inter-
Racial Leadership in This Town of
Crisis,” and "Letters To An
Average Man.” Dr. Mays served
Morehouse College with great
distinction. The total capacity of
Dr. Mays’ energy was given to
Morehouse College. A man of
honor was at the helm of
Morehcsue College. Dr. Mays'
inspirational directives were
given to the representatives of
Black Americans produced in
the 1940s, 50s, and 60s.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was
one of the many representatives
produced during Dr. Mays’ reign
at Morehosue. Much of the
respect given to Morehouse
College came thorugh Dr. Mays’
creation of an atmosphere that
positively affected the hearts and
minds of his small army of
students. His army of students,
Morehouse Men, fought for
humanity: The war against
segregation was won.
