Jernigan Award Winners

The Jernigan Award has been presented to a blind member of the NFB of
Missouri for exceptional long term service to blind persons of the
state. It is only presented when a suitable recipient is determined  to
deserve our highest honor; therefore as of 2015 the award has been
presented 38 times out of a possible 53 years. The Jernigan Award was
originally the Parin D. McElroy Award. Resolution 73.02 changed the name
of the Parin D. McElroy Award to the Kenneth Jernigan Award on April
