<p>I’m not entirely sure whether or not the name of the scholarship implies that most ppl that win this scholarship are black…does anyone know? </p>
<p>I’m Asian-American, but my situation does fit the prompt.</p>
<p>I believe that they just named it after their favorite alumnus...I don't think it's race contingent.</p>
<p>It's named because of the emphasis on social justice. That's all. MLK's papers are mostly at BU. There is no better symbol for social justice in America.</p>
