Judge

"A student during integration, I have always been interested in African American heritage. In college, I studied the Harlem Renaissance authors, seeking out poets, playwrights, novelists, and others who put to words what it meant to be retain one’s identity and culture in this melting pot called America. I am excited to be a member on this board."
