Abstract

Dr. David B. Burks presided over the Anthony and Wright Administration Building dedication ceremony that also included three monuments honoring the seven African American alumni who were trailblazers on the path of integration. Families and friends of J.C. Lewis Brown, Walter Cunningham, David Johnson, Thelma Fae Smith, Curtis Sykes, Elijah Anthony and Howard Wright participated in the ceremony. Elijah Anthony and Howard Wright were the first Black students to obtain an undergraduate degree from Harding.
