NABSE stated they chose to honor Dr. Horton for his “outstanding dedication to teaching and learning, support of worthy causes, and steadfast commitment to education”.
“We would like to express our sincere appreciation for your invaluable contributions and sacrifices made in service to the Atlanta community and abroad,” shared NABSE. “Your dynamic leadership, trailblazing historic participation towards education and unwavering support for those who are often underrepresented and unfairly treated are truly commendable. You consistently embody the principles of fairness, equality, scholarship, justice, and your efforts are an inspiration to all.”
