Secure your spot at this year's virtual "A Candle in the Dark" Gala with a gift to support the General Scholarship Fund."
The "A Candle in the Dark" Gala is the name from Morehouse College's official history book written by Edward A. Jones '26.
Since its founding in 1989, the Gala has become one of the nation's premier events that celebrates African American achievement and raises much needed scholarship funds for deserving students. This exceptional evening of elegance and accomplishment has honored more than 215 luminaries over the past 32 years.
Former honorees include philanthropists Oprah Winfrey (Hon. '89) and Robert F. Smith (Hon. '19), Verdun Perry '94; Academy Award winning filmmaker Spike Lee '79, actors Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Samuel L. Jackson '72, Roscoe Lee Browne and Danny Glover; renowned historian and educator John Hope Franklin; legendary sports figures Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Late Henry "Hank" Aaron (Hon. '09), Muhammad Ali and Arthur Ashe; civil rights leaders Andrew Young, John Lewis and H. Julian Bond '71; former U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher '63; noted scholar and professor Cornel West, King Chapel Dean Lawrence E. Carter and a host of other extraordinary achievers.
