Dr. Charles Champion had plenty of support as he received the Authur S. Holmon Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the University of Memphis Black Student Association during the 2022 Black History Month Opening Reception on campus Tuesday (Feb. 1). A licensed pharmacist and renowned master compounder of herbal medicines for 60-plus years, Champion is the namesake of Champion’s Pharmacy and Herb Store. He has been married to the former Carolyn Bailey (left) since 1958. (Photo: Tyrone P. Easley/The New Tri-State Defender Archives)
