- Description:
- This series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips from July 11, 1974, shows Coca Cola board member and former president Robert Woodruff at the unveiling of the 1974 Shining Light Award plaque in his honor. The Shining Light Award was presented annually by WSB and the Atlanta Gas Light Company; Woodruff received it in recognition for his charitable donations, which had until that point been largely anonymous. Aside from the unveiling of the plaque the clips are mostly natural sound footage of Woodruff greeting ceremony attendees. He is accompanied by a black male attendant (possibly Luther Cain, Jr.) and times by Elmo Ellis, general manager of WSB Radio.
