ReplyDeletelook how far we've come. black folk can do whatever they set their minds to do. i'm so proud of our university. we've done so well with so little, and one of the most significant things about our school is that we're really just beginning to hit our stride.
ReplyDeleteDr. Ammons is the example of class!He had two of FAMU's worst president's on stage! They were invited and spoke and were fully engaged. FAMU is GREAT!
