Dr. Dottie Morris, Associate Vice President for Institutional Diversity and Equity at Keene State College, was honored with the Martin Luther King Jr. Award. She said it was a strange feeling to get an award “for doing what I’m supposed to be doing.”
“It would be impossible for me not to pay my rent on this earth by not doing the things I do,” Morris said, who thanked her parents and family, with special gratitude to her ancestors “for their survival and their capacity to see beyond their conditions so those of us who followed” could find success in a better world.
