MTSU is again seeking nominations for the
“unsung heroes” throughout the community who will be honored at the upcoming
traditional Unity Luncheon held in February as part of the university’s Black
History Month celebration.
Community members are invited to nominate individuals who meet the
following criteria: age 60 or older who have resided in the Middle Tennessee
area for 25 years or more and “who have made outstanding contributions to their
community.”
Nominations can be made in the following categories: education,
community service, advocate of civility, excellence in sports and contribution
to black arts. Winners will be recognized at the 22nd annual Unity Luncheon,
which will be held on Feb. 15, 2018, in the MTSU Student Union Ballroom.
The Black History Month Committee at MTSU began the tradition of
honoring unsung heroes in 1996 and has honored more than 100 community members
since its inception.
