PRESIDENT’S OFFICE

Weathering the Storm, Remaining Undaunted

efore the storms of COVID19 battered our lives, I had the great pleasure of attending the Broadway play, “To Kill a Mockingbird” at the Shubert Theater in New York City. Spelman alumna LaTanya Jackson was playing the role of Calpurnia, the maid, who in the book is mostly a sturdy, silent presence. On stage, however, she shares her interior life to great dramatic effect, becoming the conscience of the play and its moral compass. LaTanya is brilliant in the role. I watched her in that role twice, just as I twice watched her play Mrs. Walter Younger in “A Raisin in the Sun” with the same sense of moral clarity and theatrical brilliance. This season, we celebrate LaTanya Richardson Jackson and her spouse, Samuel L. Jackson, by naming the new performing arts center in the Rockefeller Fine Arts Building for the talented couple. We take this opportunity, as well, to thank LaTanya for the generous gift – the largest from any Spelman alumna – to renovate the Rockefeller Fine Arts Building. LaTanya has been connected to Spelman College since she was 14 years old. When she came to the College as an undergraduate, she and Sam met on the stage of the Baldwin Burrows Theatre, where they honed their considerable gifts to become world-class artists. With a lead gift from the Hobson/ Lucas Foundation, Bank of America and David Rockefeller Jr., in addition to the Jacksons’ gift, the College will

SPELMAN MESSENGER

create the LaTanya Richardson Jackson and Samuel L. Jackson Performing Arts Center. The gift from LaTanya and Sam is one of HOW MANY THOUSANDS of donors who generously gave to our Spelman Ascends campaign, which soared past its $250 million, a seven-year goal in just four years. Together, we have wrought miracles. We are especially grateful to our trustees who formed Spelman Strong, chaired by trustee Susan Dunn and alumna trustee Bonnie Carter. Spelman Strong raised more than $5 million in annual fund dollars. Galvanized by a $2 million challenge from trustee Ronda Stryker, the effort was steered by Spelman Strong alumnae trustees, Gena Ashe, Carmen Harris, Bonnie Carter, Susan Dunn, Lovette Russell and Pauletta Washington. We celebrate these milestones of the largest alumna gift, the support of our alumnae for a record-breaking annual fund and the largest capital campaign in the College’s history as we mark our 140th anniversary of Black excellence. Happy anniversary Spelman. Despite the storms that have churned all around us, we have linked arms as a community to remain undaunted.

HONORING THE TRADITION OF OUR FOUNDERS Each year, Spelman College pays tribute to its founders, Sophia B. Packard and Harriet E. Giles, who opened the Atlanta Baptist Female Seminary in the basement of Friendship Baptist Church in 1881. This tribute recognizes three individuals who exemplify the College’s imbued principles of excellence, service and character. The 2021 Founders Day awardees are Judge Brenda Hill Cole, C’63, honorary degree recipient; Gwendolyn Harris Middlebrooks, Ph.D., C’61, Founders Spirit Award; and Nettie Ware, the True Blue Award. These outstanding women are a testament to hard work, dedication and commitment to Spelman. HONORARY DEGREE Established in 1977, the honorary degree is awarded during both Founders Day convocation and at commencement; however, alumnae are usually awarded the College’s highest honor at Founders Day. Recipients are people of unusual ability who have distinguished themselves professionally; those who have national or international accomplishments, particularly as it relates to improving the human condition; or those who have had a significant impact on Spelman. Honorary degree recipient Hill Cole was appointed as judge of the State Court of Fulton County by Georgia Gov. Zell Miller in 1998. Reelected for four terms, she served until 2012 and was then appointed senior judge in 2013 by Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal. She also served as a neutral at JAMS, an international mediation and arbitration firm, until 2016. FOUNDERS SPIRIT AWARD Established in 1987, the Founders Spirit Award is presented to an alumna whose life and works are representative of the spirit and determination of the founders of Spelman. It is awarded to an alumna who graduated 50 or more years ago. Middlebrooks began her teaching career in the Atlanta Public School System in 1961 and taught at the high school level for five years before returning to Spelman, where she was employed for 42 years. As a tenured faculty member and administrator in the education department, Middlebrooks’ research, publications and presentations were focused on teacher leadership, leadership preparation and teacher education.

TRUE BLUE AWARD Established in 1998, the True Blue Award is presented to a Spelman faculty or staff member who exemplifies campus community service beyond the call of duty and who has exhibited the “True Blue” spirit through service and commitment to the mission of Spelman. Nettie Ware loves working at Spelman and says it feels like her second home. She is responsible for cleaning the Living Learning Center II first floor and its guest suites. She finds enjoyment in preparing a cozy and clean place for others, and also delights in assisting students, alumnae, staff and guests on campus with their needs. Nettie Ware SUMMER/FALL 2021

April King, special assistant to the provost, died May 18, 2021. She joined Spelman in 2017 as the provost’s executive administrative assistant. As chair of the Staff Council, she launched an initiative to share with staff how their contributions supported student retention, illuminating how staff members were instrumental in “Delivering the Spelman Promise,” a pillar of the College’s strategic plan. King also launched the hashtag #WorkAtSpelman to promote the idea that Spelman isn’t just a place to work, it’s a home. Under her leadership, Staff Council started the new faculty and staff meet-and-greet to ensure new employees felt welcomed and had access to resources. King is also the founder of two organizations: the National Association for Black Administrative Professionals and Black Admin Magic to encourage and empower those in the administrative professional field. She is the author of The Ninja: Chronicles of an Administrative Assistant and was a prolific speaker, moderator and panelist at national conferences. Pre-pandemic, King led the Staff Council in the creation of an in-person professional development program for nonmanagerial staff. During the pandemic, she published weekly Online Tip Talks that featured faculty from across the College employing novel pedagogical approaches in their online classes. King was married to Jeromy and the mother of a daughter, Tere, and two sons, Ezra and Angelo. She had recently become senior pastor for the Lion of Judah Family Worship Center in Riverdale, Georgia.

Voices Celebrating 140 Years of Changing the World

ince Sophia B. Packard and Harriet E. Giles opened Atlanta Baptist Female Seminary to 11 students in the basement of Friendship Baptist Church April 11, 1881, their legacy of a school

for Black women and girls became Spelman College. Throughout that 140 years, 10 presidents, thousands of faculty and staff, donors, friends of the College, and

the more than 20,000 alumnae have lent time, talent and resources – both financial and in-kind – to make and keep this a premier institution. Forever powerful, forever a leader in women’s education and forever essential, Spelman College remains a beacon in the world. Every person who has entered the space of this institution has left an indelible mark. On the following pages, several voices ring out the message of Spelman’s relentless resolve throughout the ages. – RBM

Long Live the Spelman Sisterhood B Y J O H N N E T TA C O L E , P H . D .

Anniversaries usually prompt reminiscing, combined with some degree of introspection. As I join in the celebration of Spelman’s 140th anniversary, I enjoy recalling that moment when the chair of the College’s board of trustees, alumna Marian Wright Edelman, announced that I was selected to serve as Spelman’s seventh president. I certainly expected this announcement would be newsworthy, but I was surprised by the widespread attention my appointment received in local, national and international media. It was indeed quite a story! One hundred and seven years after Spelman’s founding in the basement of Friendship Baptist Church in Atlanta, this prestigious historically Black College for women would finally have a Black woman at the helm. When I arrived at Spelman in 1986, students immediately found a way to acknowledge the relationship they expected to have with me. I would not be addressed as President Cole; Spelman students would call me ‘Sister President.’ That form of address combined their respect for the role I was assigned to carry out and their expectation that I would relate to them in the way that Black women who are not siblings or are not related through a marriage will refer to each other as “my sister.” As an anthropologist, I understood why and how I would be my students’ Sister President. In many cultures in the world, people refer to unrelated individuals as “sister” and “brother” as a way to express the expectation that the two individuals will treat each other as if that fictive kinship term carries the same expectations as if they were siblings from the same parent. When Spelman students call me Sister President and I address them as “My Spelman sisters,” there is an unspoken understanding that no matter our differences in age, class, religion, sexual orientation or any other identity, we know a great deal about each other, as kin folks do. There is the expectation that we will look out for each other, as kin folks are expected to do. We would probably like the same foods, celebrate holidays in much the same way, and use many of the same colloquialisms. Between me and my Spelman sisters, there is the kind of trust, loyalty and love that “blood” sisters are expected to have for each other. And, yes, because of the double jeopardy of being

Black and a woman in America, Spelman students and I can exchange stories about similar experiences in being disrespected, stereotyped, and perpetually confronted with systemic racism and sexism. “My Spelman sister” is the greeting many Spelman students and alumnae use to call forth the closeness, affection and support they expect from each other. And a Spelman student or alumna will indicate the kind of relationship she wishes to have with everyone who is or has been a Spelman student by speaking of the Spelman sisterhood. On this 140th anniversary of the founding of Spelman College, I am sending a virtual hug to each of my Spelman sisters. Long live Spelman College! Long live the Spelman sisterhood! Johnnetta B.

A Place I Call Home B Y AY O K A C H E N Z I R A , P H . D .

Spelman College is a place where I didn’t know that I wanted to be until I arrived. I arrived in 2001 as the first endowed visiting professor in the arts. The position was for one year and was extended for a second. Never did I imagine that the College would become my academic home for the next 20 years, that I would have an opportunity to create new majors and programs for students interested in the arts; create and chair a new department – Department of Art & Visual Culture; serve as the chair of the Division of the Arts; and assist with designing a new building that in a few years will be the public face of the College. When I received the invitation to come to Spelman, I was excited but confused. I am primarily a filmmaker, and Spelman did not have a film program. It did have wonderful programs in the arts: visual art, art history, dance, music and theater. Engaging with artists in these programs was a powerful experience, and I wanted to include them in my culminating event as a visiting professor. With support from the College, I adapted one of my screenplays into a multimedia stage play called “Flying Over Purgatory.” It starred actress/activist Ruby Dee, who joined us for 10 days, and South African singer/actress Mable Mafuya, who was flown in from Johannesburg. It also featured our own faculty: Eddie Bradley (actor), Paul Thomason (set designer), Joan McCarty (stage manager) and Veta Goler (choreographer), as well as students from the arts and other disciplines. Through working with the cast and crew, both faculty and students, I understood why Spelman College is an important and necessary institution. When I was asked to join the faculty permanently, there was no hesitation. As a faculty member, my teaching, research, and creative work at Spelman began in the Department of Comparative Women’s Studies, chaired by renowned Black feminist scholar Beverly Guy-Sheftall. She supported my efforts to create a space for my research and to support students interested in documentary filmmaking. The space was known as the Digital Moving Image Salon. Through DMIS, student work ranged from making documentary films to interactive installations. Students also had opportunities to join me for international travel to present research and engage in production.

I am aware that as faculty, we learn as much from students as we give. I developed and taught the course Cinemythic Journey: Black Women as Hero in America Cinema. At the end of the course, I asked students to identify what they thought was missing as it related to Black women as protagonists in film storytelling. Each year, they pointed to science fiction and fantasy. Inspired by these conversations, I created the interactive film “HERadventure,” which includes film and gameplay. A few years later, this project led to my TEDxAtlanta talk on the lack of diversity in science fiction and fantasy films. I am grateful for my students’ response to my question and always credit them for the inspiration to create the project. My work as an administrator has focused on developing the arts. I serve as chair of the president’s ARTS@Spelman Initiative, the division chair for the arts, and the former chair and faculty member of the newly created Department of Art & Visual Culture. Through the arts’ creative practices, we learn what it means to “be” in the world and make sense of ourselves and others. It has been an honor to be part of a community that recognizes the importance of this kind of exploration. Ayoka Chenzira, the Diana King Endowed Professor in Film and Filmmaking, Television and Related Media, is professor and division chair for the arts at Spelman.

The Spelman Legacy of Leadership B Y B E V E R LY D A N I E L T AT U M , P H . D .

As we celebrate the 140th anniversary of the founding of Spelman College, I reflect with gratitude on the 13 years I spent as its ninth president, one link in a long and sturdy chain of presidential leadership that extends from Sophia B. Packard to Dr. Mary Schmidt Campbell. I look with pride on the success of Spelman women, past and present, who embody the Spelman legacy of leadership and service. I imagine what deep satisfaction the founders would have to look over the historic campus and see the buildings they built still standing. They said they were building for 100 years and they did! But more than that, their joy might come from the knowledge that generations of leaders have been launched through the gates of Spelman. Looking back, we can see that Spelman has been the source of pioneers in every field imaginable: the first women educators to build schools in the Congo like Nora Gordon, C’1888; the first Black female physicians to provide health care in Georgia like Georgia Dwelle, C’1900; the source of history-making attorneys and judges like Dovey Johnson Roundtree, C’38 and Bernette Joshua Johnson, C’64; aviators like Janet Harmon Bragg, C’29; military leaders like Marcelite Harris Jordan, C’64; social justice activists like Marian Wright Edelman, C’60 and Stacey Abrams, C’95; and corporate leaders like Roz Brewer, C’84. Women like these are our collective legacy, Spelman’s gift to the future. The Spelman experience has transformed lives over many generations and continues to do so today. Where Spelman women go and what they do will be the legacy we point to for years to come. When Alia Harvey Jones, C’95, was a dual degree engineering major, she did not know she would become the only woman of color producing Tonynominated plays on Broadway. When Roz Brewer, C’84, was doing research in the lab as a chemistry major, she had no inkling she would one day be the CEO of a Fortune 100 company. When Laurie Cumbo, C’97, was majoring in art at Spelman, did she predict that she would open her own museum in Brooklyn – or one day be elected to the NY City Council and become its Majority Leader? When LaShonda Holmes, C’2007, was doing her community service as a Bonner Scholar, did she imagine she would be the first Black female helicopter pilot for the Coast Guard? When Janelle Jones, C’2006, was studying mathematics, did she anticipate that in 2021 she would join President 12

Biden’s administration as the first Black woman to serve as the chief economist at the Department of Labor? Somewhere at Spelman a seed was planted, an idea cultivated, an experience had that changed a life trajectory. That is what a Spelman education does, preparing women for those life-changing moments, creating life experiences that will open up multiple pathways of possibility – possibilities that may lie beyond our current imagination. As we celebrate 140 years of excellence, I am grateful to know that the Spelman legacy of leadership endures and that Spelman women are still making a choice to change the world.

The Tides That Bind B Y A’ L E L I A B U N D L E S

Three of my best childhood friends – Henri Norris, Judith Ransom and Deborah Gentry – attended Spelman during the late 1960s and early 1970s, so I’ve long known of its allure and legacy. When I visited Deborah in HotLanta during the summer of 1972, I was in awe of the Black political and cultural mecca that was so much more hospitable than my college environment in Massachusetts. At the time, and even after I moved to Atlanta as a producer with NBC News in 1980, I had no idea my grandmother Mae Walker Perry had graduated from Spelman Seminary in 1920. When I spoke at Sisters Chapter in 1983 about my research on my greatgreat-grandmother Madam C. J. Walker, I was just beginning to discover the details of Mae’s time on campus. Later, with the help of Beverly Guy-Sheftall, founding director of the Women’s Research and Resource Center, and archivists at Spelman Archives, I gained access to correspondence between my great-grandmother A’Lelia Walker and Spelman president Lucy Tapley about Mae’s application and her complaints about having to wear thick black stockings. To my great delight, Mae was mentioned in the Spelman Messenger as an honors graduate and commencement speaker. While I can’t claim alumna status, I do feel a kinship as I look at Mae’s diploma and her College scrapbook in my personal archives. In many other ways, I also feel the embrace of the Spelman sisterhood and pride when I see Spelman grads setting the world on fire. Soon after I arrived in Atlanta, Beverly Branton, C’74, introduced me to Jane Smith, C’68, who hosted a potluck dinner in her home to welcome me to the city. Special adviser for campaign events, A. Michelle Smith and I have known each other for decades.

Some Thoughts on Spelman BY PEARL CLEAGE, C’71

My mother used to say “confession is good for the soul,” so I’ll start with a big one. In 1966, when it was time for me to choose a college, Spelman was not even on my list. There were three main reasons for this. First of all, it was located in Georgia, a scary place I only knew from news footage of civil rights workers being arrested and the quiet voices of my grandparents expressing relief that they had been able to move the family to Detroit, away from the most brutal forms of American segregation. Secondly, the idea of choosing to go to an all-girls school seemed anachronistic at best. My feminist awakening was still years away. I had no interest in gender separation. Finally, while Spelman had a theater department, it did not offer a BFA degree. So, I found another school that satisfied all my requirements, and I studied there successfully for three years until my life took an unexpected turn that brought me to Spelman to complete my senior year. It didn’t take me long to realize that my fears had been unfounded. I quickly discovered that while Georgia was still Georgia, the southwest Atlanta neighborhood I lived in was a vibrant hub of African American culture, education and entrepreneurship. To my great delight, Spelman women were everywhere: leading by example, serving with commitment, and stepping into the future with confidence and determination. Male students from across the Atlanta University Center took classes on their campuses, but the Spelman community was unapologetically a place dedicated to preparing African American women for whatever role history might call upon them to play. Spelman women were expected to work hard and strive for excellence in all things, and we did — including me, walking boldly into the theater department with a big dream about being a playwright. I became a proud member of the class of 1971, but my association with the College did not end with graduation. I have been a member of the faculty, a visiting artist, a Cosby Chair and the recipient of an honorary doctorate. I could not have known where this life journey would lead me, but I knew that my alma mater had put me on the path toward African

SPELMAN MESSENGER

American female excellence and there was no turning back. The nation has recently seen that excellence on full display in the visionary activism of Stacey Abrams, the business acumen of Rosalind Brewer, and the literary genius of Tayari Jones. None of this is surprising to us. We expect no less from each other and from ourselves. So, when my oldest granddaughter who wants to major in theater, tells me that Spelman is at the top of her list, I can see her dreams shining in her eyes and I know that Spelman will nurture those dreams the same way they nurtured mine. “Good choice,” I tell her, but she just smiles. “I know,” she says. “I know.” A playwright, essayist, novelist, poet and political activist, Pearl Cleage, the city of Atlanta’s first poet laureate, is currently the Playwright in Residence at the Alliance Theatre. She has authored stories and essays that include nine novels, 17 plays, three essay collections and three poetry volumes.

Focusing on the Strength of Our Network B Y TA R A B U C K N E R , C ’ 8 7

Growing up in my hometown of Minneapolis, I knew a lot of Black community leaders. My parents were community leaders. I, myself, was the first African American student at Loring Elementary. This, of course, came with heartbreaks when I was not invited to join in certain activities because of my race, but it also provided me the opportunity to meet those who had never met anyone of African descent. After serving on the student council and other leadership roles, I was one of six Blacks who graduated from a high school where only 25 of the 2,200 students were Black (counting me and my sister, Tazha). So, when I came to Spelman College, I knew what leadership was, however, my idea of leadership was that it was a lonely place for Black people. At Spelman, I discovered there were other young women like me. More importantly, I learned we were all motivated by the same thing, and that was to get a college education and use it to improve our lives. Even more, take that education and use it to improve the situation of our race. With our Spelman education, our Spelman experience, we were destined to become the firsts in our race and gender to achieve success in our chosen careers. These days, when I am asked what makes the Spelman experience special, I often answer that I learned that Black women can become fearless leaders, and unlike my experience in childhood, I can have a compliment of bright, intelligent friends who support and care for my well-being. Spelman women can be competitive, but we focus on competition, not the tearing down of others. Spelman women focus on the strength of the network. So, this is who Spelman women are! We are leaders! We excel in our areas of expertise! We are women of service, and in our collective, we are a force to be reckoned with! The Spelman experience has been about becoming the first to achieve in a variety of professions. We celebrate Spelman College’s Founders Day because it is a line in the sand for the beginning of Black women using education to further the success of many. We honor the results of those before us, for they paved the way for many of our sister firsts. So here we are celebrating 140 years of our beloved Spelman College and its greatness, just on the cusp of the next decade developing women who achieve. It is appropriate to reflect on

all that our dear Founders and the Spelman Sisters before us have given before looking forward to ask the question, What will/should we do next? Spelman alumnae will most certainly continue to rise to become the first women of color to achieve and do things; however, the next decade of Spelman Sisters will also need to focus on cultivating many “seconds.” I anticipate the next 10 years to be about the business of supplying the pipeline of successful African American women in the places where there have been firsts. Our Founders gave us the ability to dream, create, achieve. This is our foundation, but it is now our job to build on that foundation, create new avenues, accomplish more feats, as well as mentor the next generation of leaders. For when we achieve, we should remember the importance of sustaining our success for years to come! Tara Buckner is the immediate past president of the National

Alumnae Association of Spelman College.

Wonderful Spelman Memories! BY MARIAN WRIGHT EDELMAN, C’60

Monday morning chimes summoned students to 8 am services at beautiful Sisters Chapel. I would roll out of bed at the last possible moment, roll up my pajama legs beneath jeans and scurry across campus before doors closed promptly if we weren’t on time. We lost grade points if we were late or absent. I never wanted to miss any of the great speakers who told us the truth about the challenges black people faced and how we could overcome them. They assured us we had the ability, strength and responsibility to transform our racially segregated and economically unjust nation and provided us faculty like Howard Zinn who joined us protesting racially segregated public accommodations. I was privileged to sing in the small Sunday morning Morehouse chapel choir directed by great Wendell Whalum. Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, Morehouse’s great president instructed Morehouse men how to treat women respectfully and to challenge racial and economic injustices. I never could stand being excluded from anything any white child had in my segregated South Carolina hometown and challenged every barrier from first grade on. I’m so grateful to have been born who I was with great parents and community co-parents who taught me that I was a sacred child of God and could help change the world when I grew up. I believed them. Marian Wright Edelman, founder and president emerita of the Children’s Defense Fund, has been an advocate for disadvantaged Americans for her entire professional life.

A Journey to Service BY SHAUN ROBINSON, C’84

My journey to Spelman College began long before I walked through the gates of 350 Spelman Lane. As a young girl from Detroit, my parents and grandparents taught me the importance of a good education. The women in my family were all strong role models for me growing up, so the strength of Black women was seen in my everyday life. Even though we didn’t have a lot in terms of material things, the lesson of helping others less fortunate was instilled in me from an early age. When it was time for my family to make the decision on where I would apply for college, Spelman was a top choice. Not only because the school had a strong reputation around the country and a desired liberal arts curriculum, but also because the campus was located in Atlanta. My father’s family is from Georgia, and I had many relatives in the area. In addition, my stepsister was already attending school across the street at then Clark College. My parents knew that having our family close to support me – and give me a good home-cooked meal! – would be a great comfort to them. As an English major/mass communications minor, I was introduced to women who reflected my image: Alice Walker, Ntozake Shange, Toni Morrison, Lorraine Hansberry. I saw Nikki Giovanni on the stage before me at Sisters Chapel, as well as Shirley Chisholm, Marion Wright Edelman and Coretta Scott King. It was Spelman that brought Cicely Tyson to me as the graduation speaker for my class. 16

And back to that collective lesson that Spelman, my parents and grandparents taught me – always be of service to others. At Spelman, I learned the value of sisterhood and that when you empower a girl, she can change the world. Spelman, with its emphasis on service to the community, was one of the reasons I created my nonprofit, the S.H.A.U.N. Foundation for Girls. We support small nonprofits that service girls in five key areas (S)tem, (H)ealth, (A)rts, (U)nity and (N) eighborhoods. In the five years that the foundation has been in existence, we have helped hundreds of girls live better lives. Happy 140th anniversary to my alma mater, Spelman College! Here’s to many more years of empowering the next generation of women leaders!

From Spectator to Active Contributor, Spelman Provides New Scientific Discoveries BY PETER CHEN, PH.D.

I began my academic career at Spelman in 1992. At that time, science lectures and laboratories were held in Tapley, a building that had faithfully served the College for many decades. Tapley lacked central air conditioning, and the ability to conduct scientific research was hindered because expensive instrumentation would potentially rust under such humid conditions. Fortunately, the opening of the new science center around 2000 ushered in a new era of scientific research at Spelman. A quick search using Scifinder Scholar* shows that the number of science publications in peer-reviewed research journals tripled from the decade before the science center opening (approximately 20 from 1990-1999) to the decade afterward (approximately 70 from 2000-2009). This rise in research productivity shows how Spelman transformed itself from being a spectator that watched scientific discoveries to an institution that actively contributed to new scientific discoveries. In addition to bringing in new resources through federal grants and private gifts, this transformation has provided students with authentic research experiences where they learn from faculty who are recognized experts in the field. Such experiences provide students with a huge advantage for graduate and professional school. Furthermore, publications in top-tier peer-reviewed research journals bring international recognition to the institution, the faculty and the students. As I was looking at the Scifinder Scholar results, I wondered what happened to growth during the subsequent decade. Were the science faculty, students, and staff able to maintain this level of productivity? Or did publication rates decline after that initial boost? The results speak for themselves; from 2010-2020, the

number of Spelman publications found by Scifinder Scholar was around 200, which is roughly three times that from the previous decade! Success is such a wonderful way to help celebrate the College’s 140th anniversary! * Scifinder Scholar is a scholarly journal search engine that indexes more than 50,000 research journals in biology, chemistry, physics, environmental science, biomedical research and engineering. It also covers some journals in mathematics and the behavioral sciences. Peter Chen is professor of biochemistry and chemistry.

Spelman as an Agent of Change BY SARAH (THOMPSON) NAHAR, C’2006

Octavia Butler writes in Parable of the Sower that “all that you touch, you change. All that you change, changes you. The only lasting truth is change....” All of us who passed through Spelman changed it and were changed by it. The coming era will be full of changes for the school and alumnae. The future will challenge us to be crystal clear about what we’re touching and changing, and in what direction we’re moving. Increasing intentionality and our commitment to solidarity with the most marginalized will help us all to create change and be changed in powerful ways. In the face of climate catastrophe, we need change in policies that center on environmental justice. In the face of security politics, we need change that moves money from the military to community mental health. Change can go in any direction, and my Spelman education helped me be intentional about where I put my positive, changemaking energy and what I allow to change me. Sarah Nahar, C’2006, is co-founder of the Atlanta University Center Peace Coalition.

She served as SSGA president from 2005 to 2006.

We Made the Choice to Change the World BY ASHA PALMER, C’2004

Spelman’s motto, “A Choice to Change the World,” perfectly encapsulates what Spelman means to me. From its inception, Spelman has been a community of disrupters who, every day, make the choice to make the world a better place and to use their voice to challenge the status quo — particularly when the status quo suppresses or oppresses the voices of others necessary for change. That’s the choice I made when I attended Spelman and a choice I make every day. While at Spelman, that choice came front and center when rapper Nelly wanted to partner with our SSGA for a bone marrow drive while simultaneously promoting a music video that degraded Black women, even commoditizing one young woman by swiping a credit card down her butt. At that moment, the personal became political; the action necessary for change became the obligation. In that moment, we made the choice to change the world by advocating for Black women’s dignity AND for Black women’s health. We chose both. We started a tough, yet meaningful, conversation within our community that forced many to critically think about the impact of our actions — all of our actions — on Black women, men and youth; a responsibility, not just a choice. At its core, by encouraging Nelly to use his power as a superstar to consistently advocate for positive change and behaviors within our community, we were 18

SPELMAN MESSENGER

encouraging him to partner with us to change the world — change the trajectory of hip-hop’s degradation of Black women. We wanted him to make that choice with us. For us, that choice was clear because it was necessary. Full stop. It did not require choosing between a bone marrow drive and a music video or between physical and mental health. It required choosing both. We chose both. We chose to honor the legacy of Spelman by having our own bone marrow drive and starting the national conversation. Our obligation as Spelman women standing on the shoulders of those who made difficult choices that changed the world gave us the strength and clarity to make the choice to change the world. It’s the Spelman way. Asha Palmer, an attorney, wife, and mom of three, is chief ethics and compliance officer at OneTrust.

Reflections on the 140th Anniversary of Spelman BY JACQUELINE JONES ROYSTER, PH.D., C’70

I am an archival researcher in feminist rhetorical studies. My work focuses on the history of African American women and the ways we have used our knowledge, expertise, strategic problem-solving abilities, and especially our abilities as astute speakers and writers to improve our own lives and the lives of others. While my passion for documenting such accomplishments did not begin at Spelman, it was certainly enriched and amplified by the cauldron of experiences from my years as a student (1966-1970) and as a faculty member and administrator (1976-1992). The takeaways from these years were many, but the inspiration was specific. I discovered alumnae who had gone before me and who serve now as standard bearers of excellence. I highlight just a few: • Clara A. Howard, a member of the first graduating class, taught as a missionary in the French Congo (1890-1895) and in Panama (1896-1897). Other alums from these first generations who also chose foreign missions included Nora Gordon, Emma Delaney, Margaret Rattray, Ora Milner Horton, and our first international student, Flora Zeto Malekebu. • Selena Sloan Butler, from the second graduating class, was well known as a community activist: a leader in the PTA movement in Georgia and in the Black Clubwomen’s movement — locally and nationally; the organizer of the first kindergarten for African American children in the city of Atlanta; and later one of the first African American Gray Ladies Units of the American Red Cross. • Victoria Maddox Simmons, a classmate of Butler’s, taught in the Model School at Spelman as a student and as a graduate. She started a vibrant tradition of alums returning to the campus to join the faculty — as I did myself. Ultimately, she built a noteworthy career with Atlanta Public Schools with an elementary school being named in her honor in 1956.

After 140 years, the keystone for our alma mater is the critical imperative to remain relentlessly dedicated to the everevolving quest to be a more perfect ecosystem for nurturing the talents, abilities, and bold desires of women of African descent regardless of their chosen paths. This mission continues, and we must make it so. Jacqueline Jones Royster, C’70, has spent her career as a professor of English and an academic administrator at Spelman College, The Ohio State University and the Georgia Institute of Technology. She is the author of 75 articles and book chapters, two school textbook series and seven books. She has given more than 200 presentations at conferences, colleges and universities, and at other public events — locally, nationally and internationally. Her most recent book manuscript, African American Women at War and at Work: Legacies for Transformative Socio-Political Action and Leadership, is currently under review.

These women set a fierce pace for getting things done and done well — in this case as teachers, principals, school administrators, college professors, academic administrators, and more to keep the pipeline of talented and well-prepared women fully and freely flowing.

Speaking Their Spelman Truth B Y J O M O O R E S T E W A R T

The very first issue of the Spelman Messenger, published in March 1885, began with this opening verse of a front-page poem titled “Thoughts of Spelman Girls!” Working, working, ever working, O, the joy! and sometimes tears, As we strive in life’s stern battle Crowded with its hopes and fears. As we observe the 140th anniversary of Spelman College, my thoughts turn to the words of three wise women as each one spoke their Spelman truths. On April 11, 1881, the first Spelman Seminary class of 11 students gathered in the basement of Friendship Baptist Church. One of those students was Carrie Carter, the grandmother of Spelman’s then-oldest alumna, Annie Alexander, who shared these historical memories Founders Day 1978 at age 102 and again on her 104th birthday in December 1980 as she anticipated the upcoming 100th birthday celebration of Spelman College. “Oh, it was a wonder! ... It was something that the Negro women will always remember as long as there’s one living. They’ll always remember the sacrifice and the dedication and the love for our dear Jesus that helped them to establish Spelman Seminary and oh if they could see it now and see what they have done; if they could only see it now, they would be so glad!” (Spelman College Founders Day, April 11, 1981) “We were Black women, just twenty years away from slavery, just turned loose without help from anywhere and these devout teachers at Spelman taught us to read and write and worship the Lord. ... I majored in life.” Going the distance during her Spelman College commencement address, author Toni Morrison (who received an honorary degree from the College) challenged the Class of 1978 with these stirring words of wisdom:

SPELMAN MESSENGER

“You are women. You don’t have to choose between marriage or work, a career or children. What is the history of Black women in this country? We did it all. We were fierce and loving. We were energy and passive. We were travelers and haven. We were warship and safe harbor. We did it all. And, I beg you, no matter what anybody tells you, DO IT ALL MY SISTERS. DO IT ALL.” Now, as we celebrate 140 years of Spelman College, women committed to the task of doing it all, we will echo our hopes and fears. We will vote with our voices of peace. We will remember that there is more to be had. And, by all means, we must continue to speak our Spelman truth. Jo Moore Stewart served as editor of the Spelman Messenger from

1978 to 2016.

SpelBots: Black Women Trailblazers in Robotics and AI BY ANDREW B. WILLIAMS, PH.D.

For Black History Month 2021, I wanted to remember the young women of Spelman College, the SpelBots, who defied odds and competed on the highest international stages of robotics in the 2000s. The SpelBots, short for Spelman Robotics, competed in RoboCup, an international robotics and AI competition, in its various forms in Asia, Europe and North America. They have stories of overcoming racism and sexism back then and now as they seek to achieve in the corporate world and beyond. I started the SpelBots in 2004. I left the University of Iowa as an assistant professor in electrical and computer engineering to work at Spelman College, seeking to fulfill my God-given purpose to help others achieve their full potential. I never thought I’d go there to start the first African American, all-female robotics and AI team. I just wanted to treat my students at Spelman College the same as I would have treated my students at Iowa. I also wanted my daughters to know that there were professors who were committed to helping young Black women achieve at the highest levels. But the real heroes are the SpelBots themselves. Young ladies named Aryen, Brandy, Ebony, Whitney, Philana, Andrea, Ashley, Jonecia, Jazmine, Naquasha, Amelia, Tyler and Daria to name a few. They believed they could learn to code four-legged and two-legged robots to play soccer autonomously, without the robots being controlled by a human. This required graduatelevel understanding of computer vision, autonomy, locomotion and motion. The SpelBots found themselves competing against elite computer science and engineering schools like Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pennsylvania and University of Texas-Austin. They also competed against elite schools in Europe and Asia. In fact, they tied in the championship match at the RoboCup 2009 Japan Open against Fukuoka Institute of Technology of Japan. But the organizers didn’t want to acknowledge their achievements (I talk about it more in my YouTube talk).

The SpelBots endured not just microaggressions during their time, but also macroaggressions. Despite them, they chose to bravely compete, learn and spread their message of courage and technical excellence to K-12 students in cities such as Los Angeles, Oakland, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and their home base of Atlanta. With the support of the National Science Foundation, Spelman donors and companies such as Apple, Boeing, GE and General Motors, the SpelBots were able to have these experiences that carry them til this day. We are grateful to those who supported the team and who continue to support Black women who seek to achieve in robotics, artificial intelligence and beyond. Andrew B. Williams is the associate dean for Diversity, Equity,

and Inclusion at the University of Kansas, and the Charles E. and Mary Jane Spahr Professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He is the author of Out of the Box: Building Robots, Transforming Lives.

Reflections on Spelman’s Ascension in Global Education BY ‘DIMEJI TOGUNDE, PH.D.

At her inauguration in 2015, the 10th president of Spelman College, Dr. Mary Schmidt Campbell, remarked that “Spelman is not just an education, it is a necessity.” In the context of global education, the necessity of a Spelman education is deeply rooted in its mission to provide academic excellence to students through their engagement with the many cultures of the world. At its founding, one of Spelman’s earliest students, Nora Gordon, studied in the Congo in 1888, while Flora Zeto came from the Congo as an international student to study at Spelman in 1915. The history of supporting student mobility gained momentum in 1981, when professor emerita Margery Ganz was appointed director of study abroad. Given her passion for exposing students to new cultures, she worked with the Institutional Advancement office, several alumnae, and study abroad providers in creating scholarships to subsidize the cost of study abroad. As a result, by 2010, study abroad participation had increased from three in 1982 to 159 in 2011. The 2011-2012 academic year was a watershed moment in the history and growth of study abroad at Spelman. The following years witnessed an accelerated increase in study abroad participation from 218 in 2012 to 474 in 2019, an increase of 117%. Indeed, 77% of the graduating class of 2019 had at least one study abroad experience. Having clearly elevated its brand as a leader in study abroad, Spelman now sends more Black students to study abroad than any other baccalaureate institution in the United States (IIE 2019). In recognition of its success as a hub for global thinking, Spelman has won several awards from professional organizations in international education, including Sen. Paul Simon’s award for campus internationalization in 2017; Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion in International Education from Diversity Abroad in 2018; and the Seal of Excellence in Generation Study Abroad from IIE in 2019. Furthermore, Spelman has been recognized consecutively in the past five years by the Institute of International Education (IIE) Open Doors Report among the top baccalaureate institutions sending students abroad (ranked No. 15 in 2020). The following eight factors are responsible for Spelman’s success in global education: ability to leverage the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP: 2011-2016) to achieve campus internationalization; a philanthropic investment of a $17 million 22

SPELMAN MESSENGER

endowment to support international initiatives; establishment of the Gordon-Zeto Center and its leadership in creating strategic global opportunities; a culture of global learning and addressing barriers to global learning; institutional commitment through two consecutive strategic plans (2010-2017 and 2017-2022); development of faculty-led study abroad programs; internationalization of the curriculum/growth of courses in global studies; and partnership development at the local, national and international levels. Although the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily halted our momentum in global travels, we remain committed to our proven goals of increasing students’ ability to communicate across cultures; challenging their biases and assumptions while they learn more about racism against Blacks in other countries; helping in the development of their identity through heritage connection and interaction with other Black peoples in the African diaspora; and positively shaping their academic and career trajectory. ‘Dimeji Togunde is vice provost for global education and professor

Growing up With Spelman B Y H A R R I E T T E D E B R O W AT K I N S , C ’ 7 0

It was one of the happiest days of my life when I entered Spelman College in 1966. Spelman was my dream school since I was in the sixth grade and had the opportunity to visit this beautiful campus with my cousin, who was a student at Morehouse. Little did I know all of the life-changing events that Spelman and I would experience in four short years. Spelman and the country were going through a cultural revolution simultaneously, and my classmates and I played significant roles in both. On campus, we were fighting for the right to wear pants. That’s right – pants! We could only wear pants on Saturdays and on Sunday mornings for breakfast. We strongly believed this one apparel was our flagship to signify our resolve that we were free-thinking, independent women! Off campus, we were fighting for the right to be first-class citizens. We boycotted one of the popular stores in downtown Atlanta that was mistreating and refusing to hire Black people. During this time, we were sandwiched between the nonviolent civil rights movement and the more radical Black Power Movement. Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture) was a frequent visitor on campus. Conversely, so was the great theologian the Rev. Howard Thurman, and not to mention Dr. Benjamin Mays

[then-president of Morehouse College] was right across the street. I listened intently to both philosophies and, I must admit, I was conflicted. I had one foot in the nonviolent camp and one foot in the “through any means necessary camp.” One day, I was working to register people to vote; the next day, I was holding trustees hostage. But the most significant event occurred my sophomore year with the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I was privileged to be one of the honor guards at his funeral. That’s when I clearly saw that love was the only answer. Hate only destroys. So, Spelman and I grew up together. She released her tight hold on my attire, and I released my anger and resolved to lead with love. Yes, my time at Spelman was some of the happiest days of my life.

What Spelman Means to Me BY MELODY GREENE, C’2020

Spelman taught me that my voice matters, that I belong wherever I want to go, and that I should take up space. Before I went to Spelman my parents gave me a strong foundation about my identity as a Black American and a woman. At Spelman, I was able to build on that foundation and grow even more into my identity. Spelman teaches you to challenge the status quo and beliefs. If you have an opinion or a desire, they push you to speak up. When you leave Spelman, you know to use your voice and that your voice matters. Spelman teaches you about your history through ADW and most classes, about how much Black women and Black people have contributed to society. Learning about your history helps you not only have pride but let’s you understand that you belong wherever you want to go. You are taught that you bring something special and unique into every room you enter and because of that, you belong. Spelman encourages you to take up space; get in the room where you want to go, speak up, and let your light shine. Spelman teaches you to never play small or be small because

you are Black or because you are women. Spelman women are trailblazers, trendsetters, innovators and leaders and none of those titles are achieved without taking up space. Now as a master’s student at Columbia Journalism School, I am able to exercise everything that my parents taught me and Spelman built on. I know I belong here, and I know that if I have something to say, I can and should speak up. If I want to write about an issue, or raise an issue, I should feel confident to do so. Spelman is important to the world simply because it teaches Black women that they matter, even in a world that was not organically structured for us to thrive in.

School of Journalism and a former Spelman Messenger intern.

Unrestricted gifts are the lifeblood of the College, directly strengthening and influencing every facet of the Spelman experience, from world-class faculty and academic programs to a campus with the technology and infrastructure to deliver a robust, 21st-century education. Additionally, the fundraiser itself has recently gathered strength. In fiscal year 2021, Spelman Strong raised $5.5 million, which is more than double of last year’s total of $2.4 million. Alumni giving is behind the record-shattering increase. “With Spelman Strong, alumnae have really stepped up their efforts to raise money for the annual fund,” said President Mary Schmidt Campbell, Ph.D. The increase means more than that the utilities will be paid or other operational issues will be handled. It means that promising scholars will find it more affordable to make their dream of earning a Spelman degree come true. “If you raise money for the annual fund, we don’t have to raise the tuition as much every year. And not raising the tuition keeps the school more affordable,” said President Campbell. Planning for the future Carmen D. Harris, C’2002, is part of a three-person alumnae team who started Guard Our Gates, a peer-to-peer planned giving initiative that is teaching young alumnae how to give to their alma mater over their lifetime. A majority of alumnae 26

— 56 percent — who participate in the initiative choose to leave their gifts in unrestricted funds to support Spelman Strong. Guard Our Gates intimately ties into Spelman Strong’s goal of ensuring that the Spelman experience will be available to future generations of Spelmanites. That begins with encouraging current alumnae to consider both immediate and planned goals for giving. “The goal is to think about how to create a journey through giving. Always give to Spelman Strong first, then consistent planned giving over your lifetime,” Harris explained. The initiative was inspired by the work of Celeste Watkins, C’96, and Gena Hudgins Ashe, C’83, who spearheaded the 25@25 Campaign, which has raised more than $1.25 million to fund technology initiatives at the College. To date, Guard Our Gates has raised nearly $2 million. Previously, alumnae were approached with planned-giving opportunities only during their Golden Girl reunion, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of their graduation. Guard Our Gates approaches women significantly younger — 20 years after their freshman year. Harris explains to younger alumnae — many of whom are just hitting their stride in their careers — that planned giving is a way to earmark a significant gift to the College without taking money out of their pocket now. “I learned that Spelman sisters are very dedicated and committed to the College, so [asking them to consider planned giving] does not take hard convincing,” she said. “They haven’t been asked. They didn’t

know it was an option. Now they know they have the time and space to take care of the future of Spelman — just as they would their child. That resonates with alumnae.” Harris gave her first planned gift at her 10th reunion. Beyond having the College named as a beneficiary on life insurance policies or 401k plans, some alumnae plan to leave the school less traditional gifts such as a vintage book collection, art or real estate. More help from our friends According to the Spelman Strong Committee, which includes Bonnie Carter, C’89, Susan Dunn, Harris, Lovette Russell, C’83, and Pauletta Washington, they will focus efforts on augmenting traditional annual fund outreach, such as during Homecoming, Founders Day and class reunions. “We needed to expand our network of friends who can give to Spelman,” said Carter. “We needed to think broadly about how to increase resources.” She contacted fellow Spelman trustee, Dunn, eager to explore the concept. “Bonnie called me last summer and explained her idea to expand the base of support for Spelman by inviting friends who didn’t attend the College to support it. I was in immediately because it’s brilliant,” said Dunn. “Philanthropists give to PWIs that they didn’t attend, and Spelman students are absolutely worthy of those kinds of donations. “Everyone on the committee shares the campaign with our friends. We talk about how to involve the board and what makes a compelling invitation, especially

for people who are less familiar with the experience and impact of Spelman.” According to Carter, Spelman Strong Committee focused on adding 90 new supporters to the donor roster, including those who could give at a greater level and who have the potential to become major gift donors. “We were very thoughtful about how we cultivated this audience,” she continued. “We now have a larger audience by which to display our ‘product.’ We have such a powerful story. Spelman competes with the best, period – not just amongst HBCUs.” One success story of cultivating nonalumnae support is a matching gift by College trustee Ronda Stryker and her husband, William Johnston. In November 2020, they committed to matching each dollar of the first $2 million in contributions to Spelman Strong through June 30, 2021. The goal was met by May 2021. Spelman’s impact story There are four pillars of Spelman’s excellence that uphold the Spelman Strong ideal (see sidebar). The first is “Fund Her Future.” Spelman Strong gifts support all students by allowing the College to operate at peak potential and to exercise prudent financial management so students are able to afford a Spelman education. Members of the Spelman Strong Committee not only carry this message forward as ambassadors of the College, but some are also living testaments to the impact Spelman has had on their ambitions and achievements. Carter is a first-generation college graduate who was “blown away and determined to attend Spelman College” when she first saw the College on a college tour with a friend and her uncle. She is now a fierce and dedicated advocate for underserved and underprivileged children, and oversees major nonprofit projects and events.

THE 4 PILLARS OF SPELMAN’S EXCELLENCE 1. Fund Her Future: Spelman Strong gifts support all students by allowing the College to operate at peak potential and to exercise prudent financial management supporting college affordability 2. Supporting and Advancing Academic Excellence: Spelman strong gifts provide funding to support our world-class faculty and several academic programs across the College 3. Foundation for Transformative Change: Spelman Strong gifts allow the College to respond to the areas of greatest financial needs and provide the flexibility to undertake unique and important opportunities 4. Fund Unrestricted Possibilities: Spelman Strong gifts are a promise to provide unrestricted possibilities for our students to change the world Harris, who earned a master’s of public health from the University of South Carolina, is an epidemiologist who once worked for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention turned restauranteur of Magnus on Water, a cocktail bar and restaurant just outside of Portland, Maine.

women for success in whatever passions they pursue. Carter said her alma mater has been foundational to everything she’s been able to achieve, from earning an MBA from Harvard University to being a management consultant in the pharmaceutical industry. “It wasn’t something I ever dreamed of because it didn’t seem within reach. But, having gone to Spelman, it was within reach,” she said. For Harris, Spelman had a soul-level impact on her identity. “I had no idea what an impact Spelman would have. I thank my parents for allowing me to come. I don’t think they knew what a gift it would be to our family: the value of Spelman as a liberal arts college, where you have access to an education that is rooted in who you are as a Black woman,” she said. Dunn, who holds a bachelor’s degree from The University of Chicago and a M.Ed. from Bank Street College, is a retired elementary school teacher who has spent the past 15 years as an active volunteer and philanthropic supporter focused on educational opportunities for children in underserved communities. She is dedicated to sharing Spelman’s impact story. “As a board member, I see my responsibility as connecting Spelman with people who, like me, will be motivated to support based on the impact of the College,” she said. “I want to be an ambassador for the impact of Spelman on students and for the impact of our alumnae in the world.” Spelman Strong provides the unrestricted possibilities for Spelman women to change the world — now and in the future.

STORY

LaTanya Richardson Jackson Gives Historic Gift to Building That Was

‘All of My Beginnings’ BY DONNA WILLIAMS LEWIS, C‘79

aTanya Richardson Jackson, C’71, was so attached to Spelman College by the time she was a high school senior that she was stunned to hear she actually needed to apply. The career of the Tony Award-nominated actress, producer and director took flight at age 14 with a summer session at Children’s Theater in Spelman’s John D. Rockefeller Fine Arts Center. In high school, she took courses at Spelman through the federal Upward Bound Program and was cast in Morehouse-Spelman Players productions.

The Fine Arts Center was where she first acted with Samuel L. Jackson, Morehouse, C’72, who would go on to become a Hollywood icon and her mate for the past 51 years. “Everything I know, all of my beginnings, were in that building,” she says, adding that “Spelman is the nurturing panacea that fed my imagination and … is the well from which I draw sustenance to this day.” In honor of the couple’s legacies, Spelman announced May 10 that the renovated theater and supporting areas will be

named the LaTanya Richardson Jackson and Samuel L. Jackson Performing Arts Center. “I’m trying to figure out why her name was first,” Samuel Jackson says jokingly. The upcoming renovation is made possible through a lead gift from the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation, along with donations from the Bank of America, David Rockefeller Jr. and the Jacksons. The Jackson’s $5 million donation represents the largest single gift to the College from an alumna in Spelman’s history, according to Jessie Brooks, Spelman’s vice president for Institutional Advancement. Expressing gratitude to their friends, businesswoman Mellody Hobson and her husband, “Star Wars” creator —LATANYA RICHARDSON JACKSON George Lucas, and to all who contributed to the project, Richardson Jackson says she hopes the donations made to restore Spelman’s theater inspire others to give. “Marian Wright Edelman, C’60, says ‘service is the rent we pay for living,’ and that’s the truth,” says Richardson Jackson, quoting her friend and mentor, the founder and president emerita of the Children’s Defense Fund. “Giving is empowering. It’s the law of the universe — give, and it shall be given to you. I believe that. I really believe that.”

“EVERYTHING I KNOW, ALL OF MY BEGINNINGS, WERE IN THAT BUILDING. SPELMAN IS THE NURTURING PANACEA THAT FED MY IMAGINATION AND … IS THE WELL FROM WHICH I DRAW SUSTENANCE TO THIS DAY.”

TOUCHING AND REAFFIRMING Samuel Jackson took many classes at Spelman once he decided to major in theater and spoke about the impact of legendary theater professors Dr. Baldwin Burroughs, Dr. Barbara Molette and Dr. Carlton Molette on his and his wife’s careers. “That [Fine Arts] building became the training ground that formed who I was going to be in this particular business … in terms of Dr. Burroughs talking to us about ‘the theater’ and the Molettes instilling ambition in us,” he says. “To have that place named after us is touching and reaffirming in the sense that we made the right choice, and hopefully it will be inspiring to people who look and say those two people did something coming from a place that nobody expects you to succeed the way we succeeded.” Playwright-activist Pearl Cleage, C’71, was part of their scene, writing plays that the Jacksons and other students performed. “I met LaTanya when we were both undergraduates at Spelman. We recognized each other immediately. Yearning for, and training for, what we hoped would be a life in the theater, we were also SUMMER/FALL 2021

deeply rooted in the challenges of our times. We wanted to be artists — she, an actor; me, a writer — but we also wanted to be part of the healing and strengthening of our community. We saw no reason to separate the two tasks and our work reflected that commitment,” Cleage says. “I remember seeing LaTanya on the stage when I was first getting to know her and having one of those moments when you realize that a friend of yours is something really special. I will never forget watching her portray the Lady in Red in Ntozake Shange’s masterpiece “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf” and literally feeling her take my breath away.” In 2014, Richardson Jackson received a Tony Award for Best Actress for her performance as Lena Younger in the Broadway revival of Lorraine Hansberry’s “A Raisin in the Sun.” She received a Lilly Award for theater excellence in 2019, the same year she began her role as Calpurnia in Aaron Sorkin’s critically acclaimed adaptation of “To Kill a Mockingbird.” She also joined the Fordham University Theater Program as the Denzel Washington Endowed Chair in 2019. In addition to her extensive theater credits, Richardson Jackson has appeared in numerous films and television shows, including “The Fighting Temptations,” “Show Me a Hero,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “100 Centre Street.” She and Jackson are producers of the internationally awarded, six-part docuseries “Enslaved,” and are producers of an upcoming film starring Jackson, “The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey,” an adaptation of the Walter Mosley novel. Actress Denise Burse-Fernandez, C’73, a close friend of the Jacksons since college days, is a member of the “Ptolemy Grey” cast. She says Richardson Jackson is different from many of her peers in that she learns all she can about projects before choosing to work on them and isn’t afraid to voice strong opinions when she’s working. “She also has a shy and pensive side that a lot of people don’t get to see. I think a lot of that has to do with her being raised by her grandparents,” Burse-Fernandez says.

neighborhood with their grandparents, Frank and Dovie Lee Jackson. Her grandmother was a maid and a cook at Ragsdale Elementary School. Her grandfather retired from Beck & Gregg Hardware Co. in downtown Atlanta, where his duties included running the elevator and Marian Wright Edelman, C’60, is handling shipments. a friend and mentor to LaTanya. “They were the best grandparents who have ever lived. And I had an aunt, Doris Rogers, who was a media specialist for the Atlanta Board of Education and was so married to culture. … To this day, I still love the symphony and art because of her,” Richardson Jackson says. Richardson Jackson says she was an inquisitive, animated, “too-busy” child who read the Greeks when she was little and chose to spend her summers in library camps and summer school. She says she had a great childhood, but it wasn’t without struggle. “I was dark-skinned, with short hair, growing up in a town that revered complexion, and I got looked over a lot — and it was uncomfortable for me. So, I vowed, at an early age … because of that I would treat someone else better,” Richardson Jackson says. Ironically, her skin color was what first attracted Jackson to her. “My grandmother was like the most beloved figure in my life,” says Jackson, who was also raised by his grandparents. “She was a very dark woman, so that was always my standard for beauty.” The Jacksons bonded over their love for their craft, he says. “She was that person who connected me intellectually to the theater and what that meant when you got into a discipline like the theater, because it became a discipline. She made me understand that there are rules and regulations that have to be followed

when you are in this business,” Jackson says. “She calmed me down in a way, but she also fired me up in a whole other way artistically and creatively to be ready to do it.” She also became his harshest critic. Richardson Jackson says she always thought she was better at acting than her husband until his Academy Award-nominated performance in “Pulp Fiction” changed her mind. “When I saw “Pulp Fiction,” I bowed down. I said, ‘Oh, this is what you can do?”’ Jackson says that was the first time she gave him major props. “That’s when she said, ‘OK, he might be somebody,’” he says. RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME, RIGHT PERSON Richardson Jackson and Jackson first saw each other on a plane chartered in 1968 to take Atlanta students to Memphis to join the striking garbage workers Martin Luther King Jr. had been organizing just before he was assassinated. Their paths crossed again one day when Jackson was sitting in Dr. Burroughs’ office. While the professor’s back was turned, Richardson Jackson slipped in and dropped a late project on his pile, shushing Jackson as she tipped away. “When Sam saw me (later), he said, ‘He wrote a F on it!’ and he was laughing. We started talking, and we’ve been together ever since,” Richardson Jackson says. Her partner in crime became her partner for life. After 10 years together, they married in 1980. They have one child, producer and director Zoe Dove Jackson.

“People spend their lives trying to find the person who’s going to help define what their life is about or that they want to create a life with, and I was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time to find the right person who makes life meaningful and whom I could love unconditionally in the way I do,” he says. Actress Pauletta Washington, actor Denzel Washington’s wife, has been friends with Richardson Jackson long enough to remember asking her for 50 cents for gas, so she and Denzel could get home from one of the Jacksons’ house parties. She still recalls how she felt when they first met. “I couldn’t get over how warm she was. It was just an instant gravitation to her. She was like Mama Bear even then,” says Washington, who became a Spelman trustee in 2020 and hopes to see Richardson Jackson direct the first performance in the renovated theater. As former Spelman trustee Jerri DeVard, C’79, puts it, “LaTanya just has that beautiful way of making you want more of her.” In 2010, DeVard and Richardson Jackson spearheaded a star-studded Spelman Blue Gala at New York City’s historic Plaza Hotel that raised nearly $2 million in scholarship funds. “As an alum, former trustee, generous donor, and intense lover of our great institution, LaTanya has stepped up in a way that showcases her homage to Spelman and desire to pay it forward,” says DeVard, founder of the Black Executive CMO Alliance. “Her gift [for the theater] will nourish many generations of women and their families for years to come.”

THE LATANYA RICHARDSON JACKSON AND SAMUEL L. JACKSON PERFORMING ARTS CENTER:

RESTORING SPELMAN’S ARTISTIC GEM FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS BY ALICIA SANDS LURRY

When the John D. Rockefeller Fine Arts Building first opened its doors on Spelman’s campus in 1964, it was a state-ofthe-art, bustling hub of the arts that included the impressive Baldwin Burroughs Theatre and a 2,200-square-foot gallery. A cultural oasis for Atlanta’s Black community, the facility spotlighted the burgeoning talents of Spelman and Morehouse students and acclaimed African American visual and performing artists, actors and musicians from across the country. Nearly 60 years later, however, the fine arts building is in desperate need of repair. Many of the features, including the theater, stage, dressing rooms and rest rooms, require updating. In addition to asbestos, poor ventilation and lack of handicap accessibility, there is also a need to soundproof spaces to protect music and drama from noise. Other necessary upgrades include space creation for visual arts, workshops, and interdisciplinary teaching. Thanks to a generous $5 million donation from actressproducer-director LaTanya Richardson Jackson, C’71, and her actor husband Samuel L. Jackson, Spelman will soon restore the Rockefeller Fine Arts Building back to its original glory. 32

SPELMAN MESSENGER

The College will name a renovated theater, lobby, dressing room and supporting areas the LaTanya Richardson Jackson and Samuel L. Jackson Performing Arts Center. The updated arts center is also funded by a lead gift from the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation along with donations from the Bank of America and David Rockefeller Jr. A total of $17.3 million has been raised for the Rockefeller Fine Arts Building. Construction is slated to begin fall 2021. Richardson Jackson considers it a blessing to give back to her beloved Spelman by restoring the very place where she and her husband honed their talents as students on the stage of the Baldwin Burroughs Theatre. “I have great gratitude to Melody Hobson and George Lucas for the initial gift and to my friend Brian Moynihan at Bank of America for helping to get this started,” said Richardson Jackson, who performed alongside her husband, a Morehouse College alum, as a member of the Morehouse Spelman Players in productions like “The Sale” by Pearl Cleage, C’71. But, Richardson Jackson wants her gift to be more than just an eponymous performing arts center. She wants to leave a

legacy for future generations. “It’s not just about a building with a name on it. That is vacuous to me,” she said. “This must be something of substance that is paid forward with great women who can do technology, acting, lighting, designing, and everything that is entailed within the discipline I got when I was at Spelman because it was there. It’s not there now, quite frankly.” Jessie L. Brooks, vice president for Institutional Advancement, said the gifts will have an indelible impact on Spelman’s arts legacy and the surrounding Atlanta cultural and performing arts community for generations to come. “From a performing arts perspective, these gifts will actually take the performing arts at Spelman to another level,” he said. “As a result, we will renovate Baldwin Burroughs Theatre and the entire performing arts center complex. Spelman students majoring in drama and theater will have world-class, state-ofthe-art facilities for their productions, rehearsals and classes. “It will be spectacular and will totally re-envision the building and open up spaces to make it welcoming for the community to watch productions at Rockefeller,” Brooks noted. “This will also increase our students’ ability to excel in theater and help them as they move on to careers in the industry.” In 2015, Spelman President Mary Schmidt Campbell visited the facility and immediately noticed the facilities were worn and in need of renewal or replacement. Rather than demolish the building, however, she said renovation proved the best option. “The Baldwin Burrows Theatre is a gem,” she noted. “There is ample fly space, a deep stage, orchestra pit, spacious wings and sound acoustics. The cost of replacing a professional theater with these fundamental components would be prohibitive.” Once Rockefeller is renovated, Spelman students and the Atlanta community can expect a performing arts center complete with a new facade, expanded entryway, updated dressing

rooms, large lobby with elevated ceilings, and other open public spaces. Deeply grateful for Richardson Jackson’s contribution to the College, Campbell anticipates the donation will have a huge impact on Spelman’s imprint on the arts. “LaTanya and Sam, Pearl Cleage, Kenny Leon, Kenya Barris, and others who studied directing, lighting and costume design from all over the Atlanta University Center have become world-class artists supported in part by professional facilities,” she said. “We expect to continue to support and develop the best of the best and can do so with this newly renovated instructional space. Moreover, the renovation gives Spelman a dynamic space for theatrical presentations to our local community and to the city of Atlanta.” Pauletta Washington, an accomplished actress, new Spelman board of trustees member, and wife of legendary actor Denzel Washington, is excited for the changes that Richardson Jackson is helping to set in motion for the arts at Spelman. “What’s beautiful for Spelman is the monetary gift, but more than that, the College has a true advocate,” Washington said. “I can see master classes being conducted. I know that’s her vision. I also want her to direct the first production in the center because she is an awesome director. She’s an awesome actor, we know, but she’s a master director.” For long-time Spelman faculty members like Charnelle Holloway, C’79, associate professor in the Department of Art & Visual Culture, the renovation is a long time in the making. Holloway hopes the upgraded facility will house the College’s performing and visual arts faculty under one roof, thereby promoting greater collaboration and an interdisciplinary approach to the arts. “The donation is wonderful, and it’s huge,” said Holloway, who remembers artists like Kofi Bailey, Pearl Primus and Romare Bearden visiting Spelman in the ‘60s. “It’s been needed for a while. Both the theater and fine arts building need restoring because it has a lot of history. It is a sacred space. It needs to be appreciated and uplifted.” Alicia Sands Lurry is a writer, communications and public engagement

ASCENDS

Historic Campaign Ensures BY VICKIE G. HAMPTON

Spelman Ascends: A Campaign for Spelman College marked a dual historic mark. The first was the campaign goal itself: $250 million is the most ambitious fundraising goal in the College’s history. Another was 2020, a year that brought on a deadly pandemic and racial reckonings that put glaring spotlights on the dark crevices of inequality and injustice that fracture our society. Yet, even with the pain and losses they wreaked, these scourges became catalysts for record giving. Spelman College was a recipient of several gifts from generous philanthropists. When the College announced the Spelman Ascends campaign to the public March 13, the news was aweinspiring. More than 96% of the $250 million goal had been reached. With such a great outcome, the board of trustees decided to end the campaign Dec. 31, 2022 — much earlier than the original end date of June 30, 2024. “We shortened the campaign because we reached our goal faster than we expected,” said President Mary Schmidt Campbell, Ph.D. “The significance of this success coming in our 140th anniversary year is a profound testament to the collective commitment of our board, alumnae, supporters, faculty, staff and students to launch the College into the next 140 years.”

THE HIGH That’s right, the College has only $10 million more to go to make fundraising history. The global events of 2020 inspired many philanthropists to give in record numbers, including MacKenzie Scott, a writer, philanthropist and ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. In December 2020, she announced charitable gifts of nearly $4.2 billion to 384 organizations, among them more than 30 colleges, including HBCUs. Spelman received a $20 million donation from Scott. According to Campbell, the Spelman Ascends campaign has enabled the College to more than double the number of individual donors to Spelman. Although the events of 2020 contributed to the acceleration of giving, she pointed out that Spelman has a rich legacy of attracting and maintaining donors who generously support the College’s mission.

SPELMAN MESSENGER

The campaign received several seven- and eight-figure gifts from other notable donors, including Patty Quillin and Reed Hastings, Seth and Beth Klarman, Rosalind G. Brewer, C’84, Spelman board chair and husband John Brewer, and Spelman trustees and their spouses, inlcuding Ronda Stryker and William Johnston; Ted and Barbara Aronson; Susan and Tom Dunn; Mary R. and John F. Brock; and Cara Johnson Hughes, C’2003, among many others. “Spelman College has been very fortunate in that we have had more than 100 years of investment around the topic of racial equity, and so we had a very good foundation,” Campbell said. “We have a very faithful circle of supporters – Black, White, young, old, alumnae, nonalumnae — who have been absolutely faithful to Spelman College.”

THE WHY When considering capital campaigns, especially historic, multimillion-dollar ones like Spelman Ascends, attention goes immediately to the nuts and bolts of fundraising and the brickand-mortar projects that they often support. However, the buildings to be renovated or built, the operations to be streamlined or augmented, the curricula to be expanded or innovated are for the heart, spirit and soul of the Spelman mission: to graduate Black women with a competitive edge to become successful global leaders and social justice change agents in whatever they choose as their life’s work. “As much as we have raised for scholarships, our students’ needs are much greater than what we’ve been able to raise,” said Campbell. “We’re very proud of what we’ve raised — more than $110 million [the original goal was $70 million] in scholarship monies alone — but the need for our students is many times more than that.” In her poem, “We Speak Your Names,” Pearl Cleage, C’71, who was recently named Atlanta’s first poet laureate and was awarded the College’s 2020 Community Service Award during the 2021 Commencement services, pays homage to women who blaze a way for others. “We know that we are walking in footprints made deep by the confident strides of women who parted the air before them like the forces of nature that you are,” the poem reads in part.

Bright Futures “AS MUCH AS WE HAVE RAISED FOR SCHOLARSHIPS, OUR STUDENTS’ NEEDS ARE MUCH GREATER THAN WHAT WE’VE BEEN ABLE TO RAISE.” — PRESIDENT MARY SCHMIDT CAMPBELL, PH.D. Cleage could have been speaking directly to the impact of her Spelman sisters, many of whom are leaving imprints that are quite literally changing the world. It wouldn’t be hyperbole to say that Stacey Abrams, C’95, is one such force of nature. She was defeated in her 2018 Georgia gubernatorial bid, but undaunted in her passion to make a difference on the political scene. She galvanized such strong voter turnout in her state that it turned historically, staunchly red Georgia to blue — and helped change the course of this nation’s history with the election of Joseph Biden as president. In an interview in the spring 2019 issue of the Spelman Messenger, Abrams said: “Spelman teaches women how to leverage and deploy their power. So, the framing of a ‘warrior woman’ is a beautiful notion because it understands that embedded in our sense of who we are is the responsibility to do something.” Gia Tejeda is such a young warrior. While in high school, she was acutely aware that the path to college meant overcoming significant financial hurdles. She also knew that she was not being given sufficient information and support to make her dream of a college education come true. She wasn’t concerned just for herself, but also for her classmates — all of whom were unprepared to navigate the challenging terrain of college and scholarship applications. “We knew we needed help around getting into college,” Tejeda said. “It was a matter of how do we make our dream become a reality.” Rather than sit idly by and let dreams be deferred, she took up arms and did something about it. As a high school freshman,

she assembled a network of counselors and tutors to start All Things College, where she parlayed all the research she had done regarding college and scholarship applications into a business. She began the company, she said, to help allay hers and her schoolmates’ fears about going to college. In the end, she received an institutional scholarship from Spelman that covers half of her tuition; external scholarships cover the remaining tuition, as well as room and board. And scholarship aid meant she was at the College and able to be part of a dream team that won $1 million for Spelman in the Goldman Sachs Market Madness: HBCUs Possibilities Program. She and four other Spelman sophomores brought home the top honor after presenting a strategic solution to Procter and Gamble, the subject of the case competition. Tejeda is representative of the many current and potential Spelmanites — brilliant and bold, capable and confident, deserving and determined — who could be denied an opportunity of an education without the financial assistance needed to attend college. An investment in their education — in particular at Spelman, which is uniquely able to harness the potential of Black girl magic and transform it to agency and activism, quickened by academic excellence and intellectual prowess — is an investment in all the untold good these emerging leaders will have on the lives of people in their communities and the world over. ““We are proud of the over $120 million we have raised in new scholarship funds in the past four years and deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to our success,” said Campbell. “At the same time, we are painfully aware that even with our success, our talented students still face unmet financial aid needs.” Vickie G.

Johnson Products Co. and a former Spelman trustee.” Hughes majored in economics at Spelman but, like all Spelman students, received a well-rounded education that extended beyond her major. While economics gave her a specialty, exposure to a variety of disciplines prepared her for a career that has crossed functions and roles — from product development and sales to marketing and now to community engagement. Her work at the company has evolved to reflect the idea that: “If you aren’t doing good in the community, it doesn’t matter how much good you’re doing on the balance sheet.” Since graduation, Hughes sees Spelman’s efforts to meet the needs of students interested in the food industry, which is a direct result of Baldwin Richardson Foods investments in Spelman talent. The Baldwin Richardson Foods Scholarship provides an incoming freshman who is interested in entrepreneurship or food science with a four-year, full-tuition package. It leads to an internship and ultimately the opportunity to work for the company full time after graduation. Three scholars are currently in the program, and Hughes counts the scholarship — supporting students who are traveling the path she once traveled — as one of her most important accomplishments. As a third-generation entrepreneur, Hughes was exposed from a young age to creating, taking risks and innovating, always tying her work back to the community. Today, she doesn’t just innovate around products at Baldwin Richardson Foods, she innovates around ways to create lasting impact in people’s lives, such as constructing a primary and middle school in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. “Our family enjoys innovation, business growth and problem-solving, which are all values of entrepreneurs. But we also believe that to whom much is given, much is required,” Hughes says. “The results of that philosophy, from creating jobs to creating educational opportunities for others, are the reasons I love the work that I do.” Larry Calhoun is a strategic communications and special projects consultant, a Morehouse Man and Spelman uncle.

ELEVATE THE SPELMAN DIFFERENCE

Beverly Guy-Sheftall Supports the Spelman Difference B Y R E N I TA M AT H I S

A wise woman taught her three daughters that generosity is one of the most important personal traits any human being can have. That woman was Ernestine Varnado Guy, the mother of Beverly Guy-Sheftall, C’66, who says her mother helped them understand that not only does giving help the recipient, it’s also very fulfilling for the person who is generous. “Even if it’s small things, it makes you feel good that you’re able to have that spirit of generosity. If you have that tendency, you’ll keep doing it,” says Guy-Sheftall, founding director of Spelman’s Women’s Research and Resource Center, chair of Comparative Women’s Studies, and the Anna Julia Cooper Professor of Women’s Studies. “My giving has been a long process, and it wasn’t connected to how much I had. So, when you have more you give more.”

Through her philanthropy, Guy-Sheftall has propelled her lifelong work and commitment in Black feminism and LGBTQ issues into a sustaining legacy.

Giving since 1990, Guy-Sheftall has contributed nearly $300,000 to the College. Her contributions have propelled her lifelong work and commitment in Black feminism and LGBTQ issues into a sustaining legacy. That life’s work is reflected in the 40-year-old Women’s Research and Resource Center, where she established Black feminist studies, helped transform Spelman’s curriculum, including establishing an endowed chair, and made an impact on the lives of students who take the women’s studies class. “My first encounter with Dr. Guy-Sheftall shaped my entire Spelman experience. She gave a presentation during our first-year week about Sarah Baartman, a Khoisan woman who was exhibited throughout Europe against her will because of European’s fetishistic fascination with her body,” says Moya Bailey, Ph.D., C’2005, assistant professor of Africana studies and the program of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies editorial board at Northwestern University.

Bailey, who is on leave from Northeastern for the 2020-2021 academic year and is serving as an MLK Visiting Scholar at MIT, says that lecture was her first real lesson in misogynoir, a term she coined to describe a specific form of discrimination experienced by Black women. “Dr. Guy-Sheftall and the Spelman Women’s Research and Resource Center nurtured my feminist inclinations and made me want to dedicate my life to feminist inquiry as it seemed — and still does seem to me — the praxis that will get all of our people free.” CREATING A SAFE PLACE WRRC became a safe place and an incubator for Black feminist studies and the LGBTQ community at Spelman. Guy-Sheftall describes it as one of her greatest accomplishments. Thus, her giving has been very intentional. “I wanted to make sure that the Women’s Center would continue its commitment, not just to Black women in general, but also to LGBTQ people and those issues,” says Guy-Sheftall, who values the friendships and comradeships developed as a result of bringing guests like Audre Lorde, Anita Hill, bell hooks, and Gloria Steinem to the College. “I am able to witness among students who take that intro to women’s studies class its powerful impact, and I am aware of the transformation they experience. I’ve been doing that now for almost 50 years. To see the impact of the course on students is heart-warming and affirming,” she says. That transformational process around gender and sexuality matters is what distinguishes Spelman within the historically Black colleges and universities context. “I don’t think Spelman has fully grasped the important legacy Dr. Guy-Sheftall has created in the field of women’s, gender and sexuality studies and the impact she has had on HBCUs,” says Bailey, who has written and published extensively on these issues. “Spelman’s comparative women’s studies program is unparalleled …. That [Guy-Sheftall] has grown the program to the point where we have an endowed chair in sexuality studies on the horizon is absolutely thrilling. “Her fundraising to ensure that the program is strong is amazing in itself, but there are no peer programs among HBCUs or even PWIs. Her work in this regard is truly inspiring.” Renita Mathis is director of Special Projects and Strategic Initiatives in the Office of the President

ENHANCE OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE

Closing the Digital Divide A PILLAR OF OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE BY FRANK MCCOY

A key piece of Spelman’s 2017-2021 Strategic Plan is supporting the Spelman Technology and Innovation Initiative. Upgrading the College’s technology infrastructure enhances how students, faculty and the administration interact and support one another. JOHN WILSON John Wilson, Spelman’s chief information officer and vice president for Technology Services, is continuing the campus lift from its analog past to its digital future. Campus changes, done or on tap, will impact the school network, student systems, cyber security, messaging and the upgrading of 25 learning management spaces this summer to support in-classroom or remote instruction. Wilson says there is also an ongoing effort to transform Spelman’s Enterprise Resource Planning system, which is currently at 62% completion. The College has also hired a top cyber security firm and plans to fund a new Learning Management System. “We have upgraded 10 learning management spaces and have 15 additional spaces on tap to be upgraded over the summer,” says Wilson. “Additionally, we have five mobile carts available for a total of up to 30 spaces capable of supporting in-classroom and remote learners simultaneously.” To achieve this feat, alumnae donations have played a major role in keeping the College on pace with technological advancements, especially with the establishment of the 25@25 campaign. The campaign goal is to recruit 25 alumnae who will each donate $25,000 or more, for a total of 50 women giving $1.25 million for the initiative. Four Spelman alumnae reveal why they donate to the 25@25 fundraising campaign. They are motivated in large part by their experiences with the College’s IT capacity and performance when they were students.

SPELMAN MESSENGER

KATHLEEN TAIT When Spelman calls, Kathleen Tait, C’88, answers. The magna cum laude English graduate, now a full-time parent, spent much of her professional life in business at a growth equity fund and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Her real calling is philanthropy. Tait’s a board member of the Donors of Color Network, which seeks initiatives to topple systemic racism. She is a force on a Planned Parenthood board and Jack and Jill of America. Tait says Spelman is a “steward of her giving as it identifies needs and analyzes where my philanthropic dollars are best needed.” When she was a student at Spelman, Tait remembers having to walk to the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library to retrieve printouts from a shared printer. “Before I graduated, funding had been acquired for a computer science laboratory on campus,” says Tait. It was a great example of how student needs/gaps were identified and then solved.” It is why she is excited to give to the 25@25 initiative. “I have direct experience in what a difference it can make,” says Tait. She has given $25,000 to the initiative because she knows that Spelman always seeks to deliver to meet her students’ needs. JENNIFER BURNS Jennifer Johnson Burns, C’96, senior vice president for the U.S. legal group at Equifax Inc., recently won the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s 2021 Corporate Counsel Award in the Community Champion category. She heads the U.S. Legal Department that provides a range of legal support to the company, including IT operational support, privacy and data security. All areas that Spelman is seeking to address with the Technology Fund. She also serves on several civic boards, including Communities in Schools of Georgia, the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta and the Consumer Data Industry Association. Technology modernization is an essential aspect of ensuring that Spelman students gain the tools and resources needed to be competitive and successfully navigate the world,” says the Baltimore native, who majored in what at Spelman. “I personally give at least $5,000 per year to Spelman.”

NIA CASTELY Technology nurturing and its use is second nature to Nia Castely, C’97. She is co-founder and legal and privacy lead at Area120, Google’s in-house experimental project incubator program. The computer science major knows that tech advances in all Spelman areas are critical. “Access to technological advances in all areas of the school is vital,” says Castely. “While resources are always challenging, and technology often is lower down on the list of priorities, an ever-expanding network of alumnae with access to both financial and in-kind technology resources makes now the time to address the school’s technological deficit.” Placing her money where the tech is most needed, Castely says she donates more than the desired amount to the Spelman initiative and is happy to do it. “It is imperative that Black women are tech confident and competent, regardless of their area, as tech touches everything.” HELEN SMITH PRICE Helen Smith Price, C’79, recently retired, now has more time to support Spelman and its 25@25 initiative. The cum laude graduate was vice president for Community Affairs for The Coca-Cola Co. and president of The Coca-Cola Foundation. Price says raising funds to improve Spelman’s tech operations is an intentional commitment. Her years as a student prior to the 1990s technology wave are behind her motivation to give. “We did not have the internet,” she recalls. “It was a struggle, but we did not rely on technology for everything.” The former chemistry major remembers floppy disks and limited student access to the computer center — not just at Spelman, but across the Atlanta University Center. Today, there’s a multiplicity of vital digital devices, but not every student can afford the most powerful or popular one. Price sees Spelman’s IT initiative as an attempt to ease that student and college burden. “We cannot afford to allow smart, committed students to carry the extra burden of the digital divide,” she says.

MEMORIAM

DR. JANE E. SMITH, C’68 Died:

December 12, 2020

Dr. Jane E. Smith, C’68, whose long history with Spelman began when she was a student in the College’s nursery school, continued with matriculation as an undergraduate and ended with her successful tenure as a College administrator, died Dec. 12, 2020, after a brief battle with cancer. Before earning a doctorate in education from Harvard University, Smith graduated from Spelman with a degree in sociology in 1968, immediately after the sit-in era of the civil rights movement. “Eight of us started a group called Sisters in Blackness as the next step to the sit-ins, and our class was there to witness Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s body lay in rest in the [Sisters] Chapel,” she said in the spring 2020 issue of the Spelman Messenger. Smith returned to work at her alma mater as the director of freshman studies under President Albert E. Manley. She was promoted to assistant to President Stewart in 1976 as a compromise made with students, who had demanded that the Spelman College Board of Trustees appoint an alumna as president.

September 1, 2020

By Bill Rankin - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Maya T. Prabhu, C’2004 - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution There was no missing Marissa McCall’s infectious, disarming smile. And those who came to know her quickly learned she was laser-focused on reforming Georgia’s criminal justice system and had the team-building skills to make it happen. “She was a force, a powerhouse for change, an advocate for morally grounded policies,” said Georgia Supreme Court Justice Michael Boggs, who spearheaded the state’s criminal justice reform initiatives over the past decade. “She didn’t do 78

SPELMAN MESSENGER

Smith left Spelman to serve in senior leadership positions at several national nonprofits in the 1980s and 1990s. She was president and chief executive of the National Council of Negro Women and chief executive of Business and Professional Women/USA. She also held leadership positions at INROADS and The Carter Center, and was appointed by President Bill Clinton to the National Women’s Business Council. In 2004, she returned again to Spelman, this time to serve as executive director of the Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement at the request of President Beverly Daniel Tatum. Under Smith’s leadership, the Spelman College Women of Color Conference became the pre-eminent leadership conference for professional women of color in the Southeastern region. fostered innovation and advancement through workshops, speeches and testimonies. In addition to directing WOCC, Smith also established Spelpreneurs and advanced the Women of Excellence Leadership Series — two programs that helped students develop the skills needed to become national and global leaders. It was Smith’s commitment to leadership and the College that led current President Mary Schmidt Campbell to appoint her vice president for college relations in 2015. Smith retired from the position in 2019. Smith was the mother of two sons, Clinton and Chad Browning. An endowed scholarship has been established in her honor at the College.

this to get credit for legislation being passed. She did it for the sake of making a difference in someone’s life.” McCall, 37, the public policy director for the Southern Center for Human Rights, died unexpectedly from as yet unknown causes on May 21. Foul play is not suspected, said Southern Center attorney Tiffany Roberts, one of McCall’s closest friends. “We’re all grieving,” Roberts said. “She was so much more than what she did. The things she was proudest about most were being a good friend and a great mother. She was so genuine.” The Rev. James Woodall, president of the Georgia NAACP, said McCall’s legacy will be felt by all Georgians, especially those who are marginalized. “From folks who are behind bars, to children to women to people of color, she was very intentional about who she showed

up for and who she would work on behalf of,” Woodall said. “Marissa provided Georgia with the kind of legal acumen and skill that literally defined an entire generation of criminal justice reform here.” McCall, who grew up in a Los Angeles suburb, attended Spelman College where she obtained her bachelor of arts degree in political science in 2005. Three years later, she obtained her law degree from Louisiana State University. In law school, McCall interned for the Georgia Justice Project, a nonprofit that defends the accused and then helps them get jobs and access to social services. After graduating, she returned there and her advocacy led to groundbreaking reforms to the state’s expungement law. This made it easier for people with a criminal history to get a job and turn their lives around. McCall joined the Southern Center in 2016. She pushed to reform harsh sentencing laws, find alternatives to incarceration, abolish the death penalty and strengthen the state’s public defender system. State Rep. Chuck Efstration, a Dacula Republican, said he knew as soon as he met McCall that she was a “brilliant attorney who had a true heart to do good.”

As chair of House judiciary committees, Efstration worked with McCall on several issues. This past year, they worked closely on House Bill 479, which McCall helped write and which repealed Georgia’s citizen’s arrest statute. The proposal initially was controversial but ended up passing with only one lawmaker voting against it. “She was able to disarm the arguments against the bill through her knowledge of the issue and her thorough work to understand all perspectives on it,” Efstration said. “She will always be a true model of professionalism. I’m a better person for having known her.” McCall, who stood behind Gov. Brian Kemp when he signed the citizen’s arrest repeal into law, soon posted her thoughts about it on her Facebook page. “Unfortunately there aren’t many proud moments at the Capitol, but there was one today,” McCall wrote. “Gov. Kemp signed HB 479 making Georgia the first state in the country to repeal its racist citizen’s arrest law.” Voting rights activist Stacey Abrams, a former state lawmaker, applauded McCall’s work. “Marissa McCall defended the vulnerable, offered shelter to the ostracized,” Abrams posted on social media. “For 15 years, I witnessed her passion for carving justice out of hate or indifference with a shrewd kindness few possess.” The Southern Center for Human Rights closed its offices this week so its staff members could mourn McCall’s passing. “Marissa’s light burned so brightly, illuminating the path forward,” Sara Totonchi, the Southern Center’s executive director, said. “Her sheer brilliance and boundless passion transformed everyone she met and every room she entered.” Marilynn Winn, head of a nonprofit dedicated to reducing the number of women behind bars, said they met in 2008. Together, they worked to “ban the box” — removing the check box asking job applicants if they have a criminal record. “Marissa leaves a behind a legacy of power and passion for change,” Winn said. “I will truly miss her and her beautiful smile.” McCall is survived by her father, David McCall; her mother, Eva K. McCall-Perry; her sister, Danisha McCall; and her son, Arion “AJ” Dodson Jr. Reprinted by permission of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

MEMORIAM

HENRIETTA TURNQUEST, C’68 Died:

March 29, 2021

By Mark Woolsey

Carl Turnquest recalled a scary day in about 1960. The 12-year-old, his 13-year-old sister Henrietta and a younger sibling, Theresa, set out on the New York subway to attend their mother’s sorority event. The trio got lost changing trains. The youngster siblings got worried. Henrietta stayed calm and got busy. She quizzed subway employees for directions, herded and reassured her siblings and quite literally got them back on track. “We got there an hour late, but we got there,” Carl recalled. “She just had determination and stick-to-it-iveness.” Determination personified Henrietta Turnquest as she became an attorney, state lawmaker and community activist in her adopted home of Georgia. That, plus fearlessness and the ability to spot problems and bring coalitions together made her a trailblazer. “My mother was in the vanguard,” said son Malcolm Turnquest, noting that she was initially one of fewer than 50 black female attorneys in Georgia and among the first handful of women of color elected to the Georgia General Assembly.

SPELMAN MESSENGER

She became the first Black woman to serve as an assistant floor leader — for Governor Roy Barnes — and spearheaded the integration of the Georgia Association for Women Lawyers. Henrietta Turnquest, 73, died of complications of Alzheimer’s March 29 in Mobile, Alabama. A memorial service was held April 26. “She always stood her ground,” recalled State Senator Nan Orrock, who served with Turnquest in the state House. “She was very clear about standing up for African-Americans at the table and addressing the myriad examples of discrimination that abounded.” Younger sister Theresa Gail Snipe thinks it stemmed from lessons learned early. She said on a family trip to Florida, the New Yorkers stopped at a large hotel and entertainment complex in South Carolina. “My father knew they didn’t accept Black people. But he drove right up and walked his butt through the front door. I guess he wanted them to tell him to his face that he couldn’t stay there,” Snipe said.

Turnquest championed small business owners, AfricanAmerican entrepreneurs, seniors and child welfare advocates, working on behalf a myriad of organizations in both a legislative and later a lobbying role. “Her big thing was public policy advocacy,” said attorney Bettieanne Hart, a fellow legislator at the time. “She wanted to engage communities with what was going on after an election. Most people think if you just vote somebody in it will be okay.” A turning point for Turnquest came in 1968 when she was a senior at Spelman College, and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated Family said the tragedy spurred her to go to law school and into the public arena. “Initially, she wanted to be a teacher,” said Malcolm Turnquest. “But when that happened, she said ‘I want to help the people.’” Turnquest returned to New York for law school then headed South, practicing in Savannah and Columbus before winning a state representative seat from DeKalb County in 1990, serving until 2002.

At the Gold Dome, she didn’t play small friends said. Colleagues credited Turnquest with helping develop legislation that led to removal of the Confederate battle emblem from the state flag and working with Barnes on educational issues. As MARTA vice-chair, she is said to have helped craft a funding formula that made the agency’s proposed expansion to Clayton County palatable to voters, who approved it in 2014. She also helped others get their public service feet wet. Teaching at Morehouse and Spelman, she arranged state legislative internships for students. Turnquest also sought solutions in the private arena, founding or co-founding organizations that advocated for senior citizen rights and promoted wellness and nutrition. “What really sticks out in my mind was the leadership she exhibited when we were younger,” Carl Turnquest said. “And she was the proxy who took care of us kids when our parents weren’t around.” Reprinted by permission of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
