One of the selections is the Rev. Charles Williams, president of Indianapolis Black Expo, Inc. Rev. Williams, a truly fine young man, has taken the reins of Black Expo and has built it up into the finest exhibit of its kind in the United States. (If you go anywhere in the country and mention Black Expo, the first response from other state’s residents is whether or not you’re from Indianapolis, which has the biggest and best program.) The good reverend, a former head honcho for the ever-popular Hudnut, just seems to keep on rolling along. He is an administrative Midas: everything he touches turns to gold. I, for one, am proud that he has come into his own, and is using great talents to educate his people. He is a true all-around champion forthecause. The Rev. Williams is doing a fine job, and I know he will continue to be progressive, and lend a helping hand where needed.
