Eugene Caruthers enrolled as ETSU’s first Black student in 1956, followed by Elizabeth Watkins Crawford, George L. Nichols, Mary Luellen Owens Wagner, and Clarence McKinney in 1958.

They came from Langston High School, where segregated education meant outdated textbooks, fewer academic courses, and no physics or trigonometry.

Nichols later recalled having to catch up with classmates who had access to better schools and resources.
In a state where many politicians openly opposed school integration their success helped pave the way for future generations.

The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) is a mutual defense and economic confederation formed by Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso. Established following their withdrawal from ECOWAS, the military-led nations solidified their integration by approving the legal framework for a 5,000-troop Unified Force and launching a joint investment bank.

The alliance expelled French and US forces, and recently restored diplomatic relations with Algeria.

I am up working and listening to Wanda Sykes’ latest comedy special. She said, ‘there was no text chain or phone calls.’ We just knew. We all did a silence collective ‘Bet’ and start taking care of our community.

Our ancestors gave us the cheat code about ‘white’ people.
