Montgomery, faculty leader in university’s desegregation, dies

Oh, what a night
Led by seniors Mark Anthony Thomas and Laquesha Sanders (above), a student commemoration committee organized a celebration for the 40th anniversary of desegregation the evening of Jan. 9 in the Tate Student Center. The night of performances, student presentations and displays showed how diversity has enhanced the campus experience. An exhibit of photographs from the archives of the Associated Press/Wide World Photos and Bettmann/CORBIS was on display and will continue in the Tate Student Center on the upper level through Jan. 17. For other exhibit locations, visit www.uga.edu/news/desegregation.
Charlayne Hunter-Gault’s daughter, Susan Stovall (above), performed an impromptu solo vocal.
The Timothy Baptist Church Step Team (above), the UGA HandDrum Ensemble and the Apurna Indian dance group were some of the groups that entertained a crowd of over 1,000 people.
Student organization sponsors included the Student Government Association, student chapters of the NAACP and the National Association of Black Journalists, Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and Delta Sigma Theta sorority, to which Charlayne Hunter-Gault belongs. Members of Delta Sigma Theta (above) presented Hunter-Gault with a clock to commemorate the anniversary observance.
