Monroe Justice and Equality Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Monroe Justice and Equality Memorial Scholarship is in honor of Mr. Henry T. Monroe (H.T.) and Mrs. Effie Monroe. They were strong and resilient parents, grandparents, and great grandparents that never allowed the negative power of racism to detract from the moral values they so strongly held. In the face of generations of adversity both great and small, they never wavered in their conviction of a solid education and strong work ethics. Though they endured the trials of racial bias from their youth well into their adult lives they always served as a pillar of hope for their family and the community, and a sterling example of resilience!
