RE: Dr. Pauli Murray Human Rights Award Winner Display Area
Attached is the final mock-up of the Pauli Murray Human Rights award display that is intended
to be located in a prominent area within the second floor Whitted meeting room center hallway.
The wall area mock-up is accompanied by the matted frame inset containing Dr. Murray's
photo and accompanying text describing Dr. Murray's life and significant contributions. This
matted frame would be surrounded by three plaques for each category (youth, adult,
business) commemorating past awardees while providing space for those in the future.
We have awardees back to 1990. The plaques will have ample space to commemorate
awardees well into the future.:
The installation of this display area is scheduled for January, 2016 in anticipation of the 2016
Pauli Murray award ceremony.
