Ch. 28: After London ... 1996-1999

NAACP President (1996-2004) Kweisi Mfume, of Turner Station

The Turner Station Heritage Committee sought to “bring attention to black people from Turner Station who’d contributed good things to the world:  a former congressman who became president of the NAACP, an astronaut, and the man who’d won several Emmy awards as the voice of Sesame Street’s Elmo."

Do you know of any people from East Central University who have contributed good things to the world?  If there were an East Central University Heritage Committee, whom do you think they should include in their initial list of honorees?
