“Upon graduation, I had a ten-year plan: one day be at the helm of an integrated media company,” King said. “When I graduated, I journeyed to Hollywood without a car, a job, and without a computer, and six figures in student loans. In four short years, we have nine academy award nominations. When we launched we knew there was a market in Hollywood for a new paradigm of ownership and how we are portrayed on screens large and small. The fight continues to have our stories told authentically,” King said.

Hollywood film producer, and proud son of Howard, Charles D. King, will serve as the 2019 Charter Day Convocation orator during the 152nd Charter Day Convocation on Friday, March 1, 2019. King is an alumnus of the Howard University School of Law and founder of MACRO. In 2009, King received the Alumni Award for Distinguished Postgraduate Achievement in the fields of Government and Public Service. Howard University will confer upon Mr. King an honorary degree, Doctor of Humane Letters, the University’s highest honor.
