Today the Council congratulates Senator-elect Reverend Raphael Warnock on his re-election victory. The recipient of COE’s 2007 National TRIO Achiever Award, Warnock is the first Black senator from Georgia. Pushed by his parents to work hard and build on the foundation crafted by TRIO, Warnock left Savannah and went on to Morehouse College in Atlanta — ultimately becoming the first member of his family to graduate from college. He earned a Ph.D. in theology that led to a career in the pulpit, eventually as head pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, where the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was baptized, ordained, and served as pastor. National TRIO Alumni Association
