Charles Haskell

University of Miami law student Charles Haskell was presented on January 6 with a $1,500 check by editors at The Miami Herald, the fruit of his winning a scholarship contest that sought articles from students about the second anniversary of the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010.

Haskell’s winning article—a touching profile of Richard Jacque-Pierre, a 58-year-old Haitian refugee who came to Miami shortly after the 2010 earthquake and fears being deported back to Haiti—graces the Friday, January 6 print editions of The Miami Herald, as well as its website and an audio story on WLRN radio.
