I posted on another thread about a black female student from Ark A,M&N back in the 80s. It was primarily a black college ... the “A”, “M” & “N” stood for “Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal”, not what some might think though that was often mentioned jokingly. She applied for a job as a teacher in Little Rock. The principal told her she was two credits short. A few days later she showed up with two more completed courses added to her transcript. And was hired.
Sad, so very sad.
