we proudly saluted
Florida’s Historically Black
College
and Universities Presidents...
This year as America
celebrates the
accomplishments of Barack
Obama, our country’s first
African American president,
Florida had the distinct
honor
of recognizing outstanding
individuals who have made
valuable contributions in
the categories of education,
business, performing arts
and sports––to name a few.
In a historic effort, we
took great pleasure in
saluting the Presidents and
the legacy of Florida’s
Historically Black Colleges
and Universities,
to include, Bethune-Cookman
University, Florida
Agricultural Mechanical
University, Florida Memorial
and Edward Waters College,
the oldest of Florida’s
African-American educational
institutions.

Dr. Trudie
Kibbe Reed, President, Bethune-Cookman University , Dr.
James H. Ammons, President, Florida A&M University,
Dr. Karl S.
Wright, President, Florida Memorial University and Dr.
Claudette Williams, President, Edward Waters College
