N.C. A&T is soliciting nominations for the 2025 Human Rights Medal.

The award is presented to an individual who has made substantial and long-term contributions in furtherance of civil rights, civil liberties and/or human rights.

A "substantial" contribution is considered to be: a) one demonstrating a level of dedication or achievement beyond that expected in the normal course of an individual's work or b) one that significantly empowers marginalized individuals or a community.

Candidates for this award must be citizens of the United States and may be locally, nationally or internationally recognized. Nominees for the N.C. A&T Human Rights Medal will be evaluated according to the need fulfilled, actions demonstrated by the individual, and the scope of his or her contribution within the community.
The deadline for nominations is Friday, Nov. 15, 2024.
Use the online nomination form to submit materials electronically.
The medal is given in honor of the extraordinary action against social injustice by four N.C. A&T freshmen – Ezell Blair Jr. (Jibreel Khazan), Franklin Eugene McCain, Joseph Alfred McNeil and David Richmond Jr. – on Feb. 1, 1960.
