The 1980 Beverly Hills–Hollywood NAACP Image Awards program explains its Leonard H. Carter Humanitarian Award as a memorial to a former St. Paul branch president and West Coast regional director who challenged discriminatory hiring and advancement. It recalls his 1974 John Brown Freedom Award and April 1974 death.
