“Dr. Cameisha Clark exemplified the Panther spirit,” said George T. French, Jr., president of Clark Atlanta University. “She lived with purpose, led with heart, and leaves behind a legacy that will continue to uplift and inspire the CAU Nation for generations to come.”
Hey JBHE,
You should at least tell the damn truth about Dr. Clark. This Black American professor was ‘murdered’ by a racist and disgruntled Latino male. What ever happened to this mythical ‘Black and Brown’ coalition!
