so positively impacted his life.

the Hubert Reddick Endowed Scholarship to provide financial assistance to FAMU students
majoring in social work and sociology. Reddick was born on April 20, 1933 in Lake

at an early age, was a faithfully active member of St. Paul AME Church. He graduated
from Dasher High School of Valdosta, GA. in 1951. After earning his degree from FAMU,
Reddick moved to New York to further his education. There, he attended Bank Street
College of Education where he earned a Master of Science degree in Education.
Reddick married his beloved wife, the former Sandra Furman of New York City, in 1958.
