Kirk Franklin, a 19-time GRAMMY® Award-winning producer, songwriter, and artist, was recently honored with an honorary Doctorate of Music from Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia.  

Tammy, Kirk's wife, writes, "Introducing Dr. & Mrs Kirk D. Franklin. Despite his self-professed inadequacies, I've always told him that to me he's one of the smartest and brilliant men (heck people) I know! @morrisbrownatl and @drkevinjames thank you for bestowing upon my husband this great honor, and giving proof to what I've known all along."

Kirk also unveils the highly anticipated 2024 leg of The Reunion Tour. Joining him as co-headliners are esteemed peers and gospel music icons Yolanda Adams, Fred Hammond, Marvin Sapp, and The Clark Sisters. Kierra Sheard-Kelly will also join the tour as a special guest across all dates.
