With Mrs King, yes! As in Martin Luther King

In what could be best described as a trail blazer in the history of the Southern African diaspora community in the US, Carol Chisanga, of CCF Foundation, has been awarded the highest award in black America, the prestigious AD King Award.
“And
I’ve received-the humanitarian award for my work!”Chisanga said.
“First,
I give God all the glory; second, am proud to be the first in Southern Africa
to receive this award.”
The other African who got the award is Nigerian
singer Acorn’s mother.
Chisanga could nt hide her
excitement: “I am very excited to have have been nominated and won this award.
It is such an unexpected honour to be recognised this way and a truly humbling
experience to be amongst a special group of people who sacrifice so much in
many ways to better the lives of others; therefore making this world a better
place.”
She says CCF is determined to
continue supporting education.
“This Christmas we have a shoe-to-support
education initiative aimed at collecting shoes for girls across rural Zambia. Also
our women’s resource center is growing to include literacy, and skills training
for vulnerable women and girls.”
