Flint Fowler, a Washington University alumnus, received the annual Rosa L. Parks Award at the 38th annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration on Monday, Jan. 20.
Fowler retired in December 2024 from Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Louis, where he served as executive director for 28 years. During his tenure, he helped the organization grow from a single location to 11 sites offering about 14,000 young people programs in leadership, academic success, career readiness, the arts and sports.
“We are honored to acknowledge his vision and expertise in transforming the lives of youths and their families in the St. Louis community,” said Rudolph Clay, chair of the Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration and head of inclusion, diversity, equity and access engagement at WashU Libraries.
