Their persistence to find employment enabled them to live through the Recession of 1937, the year of my birth. I am inspired that they were able to purchase a house in Texarkana, Arkansas (twin city)/Texarkana, Texas, through it all and save the money that paid my first-quarter tuition that was the fee required to enroll in AM&N College (University of Arkansas, Pine Bluff) in 1954. It was their ghostlike financial support, a room-and-board band scholarship, and my potential for a basketball scholarship that ushered me to graduate with a BS degree in premedicine in 1958. Inspiration to move into an economy that was marginalized at best in the national consciousness was given by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his baccalaureate address entitled “Segregation, a Weigh Station; Integration, Our Destination.”показать меньше
