(The Fall of 1963 was a wonderful time to be young, Black,...)
The Fall of 1963 was a wonderful time to be young, Black, and a college student in America. For African-Americans, hope was not only alive, it was brighter than ever. It was students who filled the buses and took the freedom rides in the deep south. Sometimes they were jailed, injured andkilled. But in 1963 the movement was in full swing. At MorganState College (within view of the memorial statue of Frederick Douglas) Albert Hicks, Lonnie Spruill Jr., Charles Briscoe, Charles Brown, Louis Hudnell, Charles Gregory, Elias Dorsey Jr., Michael Williams, Frank Coakley, John D. Slade, Barron Willis and Webster Lewis congregated on the steps of Hurt Gymnasium and conceived IOTA PHI THETA.
