The award is given to honor those who carry on the legacy and spirit of the work of Dr. <br />King in the community, particularly in the areas of human rights and race relations. This year the Human Rights <br />Commission has chosen three winners: Carla D. Gary, Emilio Hernandez Jr., and Thomas Ball. In their roles as University of <br />Oregon Assistant Vice Presidents they collectively helped to make the university a more welcoming and inclusive <br />environment by serving as advocates and mentors for students of color. They deserve to be recognized, thanked, and <br />honored for their passionate commitment and hard work to further equity and human rights for communities of color, <br />thereby making Eugene a better place for all. <br /> <br />The awards will be presented at 6 p.m. in the EMU Ballroom on the University of Oregon Campus at the Lane County MLK <br />Celebration. This event is one of many to celebrate the life and work of Dr. King.
