In
May 1964, Rev. Dr. Edler Garnet Hawkins was
elected as the first African American moderator
of the United Presbyterian Church.
To
those who knew him, Dr. Hawkins was an extraordinary
man who loved all forms of the arts. He used his enormous
talents and energy to help African American young
people reach their full potential. Many of the young
men and women whom he mentored over 50 years ago are
active donors today to the Foundation established
in his memory. Read more.
