Dr. Erica Richards received the Levi Watkins Ideals Award on Jan. 12 during the annual celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s life and legacy.
The award recognizes Johns Hopkins Medicine leaders who demonstrate an unwavering commitment to our organizational values in service to the greater community. The award is named after Dr. Levi Watkins Jr, a pioneering cardiologist and civil rights activist who founded the annual MLK Commemoration at Johns Hopkins.
Dr. Richards took some time out to reflect on Dr. King’s legacy and share what the award – and the annual MLK celebration – mean to her and to the Hopkins community.
