Some 1,500 business leaders, educators, celebrities and college students joined actress-singer Diahann Carroll, mistress of ceremonies, in New York City for the 17th Anniversary Awards Dinner of the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund (TMSF). The event, held at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers, celebrated the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's historic Brown v. Board of Education school desegregation ruling and raised a record $1.6 million. TMSF, named for the late U.S. Supreme Court associate justice, is the only national organization of its type that provides merit-based scholarship and programmatic support to students attending the nation's public HBCUs. It also provides capacity building support to its 47 member schools. |
