I am Stephen Pitters ’71. I was the first black student to reside on the campus of Centenary College in 1967. There are many social challenges that I encountered in my four years. My thanks go out to the teachers such as Dean Thad Marsh, Miss Alexander of the drama dept. Dr. Pledger, Fr. Paul. The list is long.

When the space shuttle exploded, I was watching in Rotary Hall. I ran over to the English Department and found Dr. Jefferson Hendricks. He hadn’t heard the news and listened to me tell him what had just happened. He didn’t run to a TV or the news, he just listened to me.

When I graduated from high school, I was given a scholarship to attend Centenary College. Unfortunately, I felt like a duck out of water that first semester and decided not to continue in the spring.
