AFRICAN
AMERICAN HERITAGE WALL DEDICATION AT 7:15 P.M. OCTOBER
23
ATHENS,
Ohio -- Dedication of the African American Alumni Heritage
Wall is at 7:15 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 23, in
Templeton-Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium. The wall,
located in the auditorium's new east lobby, allows African
American alumni to recognize those who helped them succeed
in college.
"This is
the most significant monument to the accomplishments of
African-American students in the history of the university,"
said Patricia A. Ackerman, a 1966 university graduate and
vice chair of the Ohio University Board of Trustees and the
wall's creator. "It links to the past with John Templeton
(the university's first African-American graduate) and it
carries forward to the new millenium. The notion of the wall
ties the legacy together."
