Chatman Scholarship, which is awarded to Greenville High School Students in April of each year.Third, the Gala serves as an opportunity to educate local youth about Dr. King’s Legacy and various programs that promote positive examples for youth to emulate. As a part of this effort, the Gala features various presentations and information about Dr. King’s message and programs, which are ideal examples of his description of the “Beloved Community.”Finally, the Celebration is where we announce the latest award, the Martin Luther King Citizenship Award for Upstate of South Carolina.
