The Black Engineer of the Year Award is presented by Daimler Chrysler and recognized outstanding achievements by Black engineers. Richard Roundtree is the host of the event which begins with a 2 song set by Jennifer Holiday. This video is the complete 3 hour award show. This year's recipient is Rodney C. Adkins, VP of Technology for IBM Corporation. I suggest that you "fast forward" to the 2:37 mark to see the actual presentation of the Black Engineer of the Year Award.
plez sez: I decided to blog about this event for a number of reasons. Number one, this is a good news story about Black people doing the right thing at work and in their community. Number two, I know Rodney C. Adkins. He is my fraternity brother (he was quite "instrumental" in my becoming a member of Kappa Alpha Psi back in 1982), he is a fellow Electrical Engineering graduate of Georgia Tech, and he has been a friend and a mentor over the past 25 years.
It gives me great pride to post something positive about a good friend of mine.
