‘Out of great tragedy can come greatness’

When people die, the people who love them keep their memories alive. Such is the story behind the Chips Quinn Scholars program for journalists of color.

After Chips Quinn died, his mother and father wanted a way to keep his memory alive. They decided to honor his commitment to diverse newsrooms by starting a program that would continue that commitment.

The story that Chips Quinn's father John C. Quinn shared with us about how the program began had an inspiring message that out of great tragedy can come greatness. I appreciated him telling us the story and about his son so we know why we are here and we can relay this story to others.
