The MEC 30th Anniversary Quilt Committee (Prof. Ivonne Bennett; Dr. Juollie Carroll; Dr. Doris Withers; Ms. Selma Cunningham) conceived and commissioned the Quilt and raised funds for it.
The Quilt is an original design and creation of Master Quilter and Fiber Artist Mary Louise Smith. The Quilt is made with both domestic and African fabrics, including fabrics from Senegal, Ivory Coast, South Africa, and Benin.
The front side of the Quilt features the appliqued Medgar Evers College Seal, the names of the four academic schools of the College, the Alumni Association, and the Community Council. The Quilt is hand and machine pieced and entirely hand-quilted with black and metallic gold threads. There are Ghanaian Adinkra symbols hand-quilted in gold, representing courage, understanding, respect, truth, unity, the Divine Spirit, peace, and remembrance, in the wedges which are under the four school blocks. The other side of the Quilt features the names of the MEC Founders and Visionaries, and the signatures and names of supporters from MEC, the community and businesses.

30th Anniversary Gala Awards Dinner Program

On March 17, 1997, the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York approved the naming of the Library at Medgar Evers College, the Charles Evans Inniss Memorial Library.

Charles Evans Inniss devoted his life to community, social, and educational concerns. He was an outstanding public servant, a member of the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York, and Chair of The City University Construction Fund. A devoted advocate of the need to provide an opportunity for higher education to all New Yorkers, particularly the disadvantaged, Trustee Inniss was a devoted friend of Medgar Evers College. Moreover, he was the personification of the philosophy, mission, and vision of both Medgar Evers College and The City University of New York. His staunch support of the College, which was well known, inspired his colleagues at Brooklyn Union Gas Company to establish a scholarship at the College in his memory. The College Council of Medgar Evers College, voted unanimously on March 17, 1997, to name the College Library in his honor; therefore, it is altogether fitting that the Medgar Evers College Library be known hereafter as the Charles Evans Inniss Memorial Library.
