Picture from 1965 Midlander |
Stenia Olivia Woods was the first full-time African-American
student to attend MTSU in 1962.
"She [Martha Hampton] was Dean of Women. And my husband would pick me up from gym class. That was my last class...... And I would come out of the gym in my shorts and get in the car. And I didn't know that was a no-no. Louise Wilson....... said, "Livie, you can't do that." I said, "Why not? I'm getting in the car; I'm going home. I wear them downtown," you know. She said, "If Ms. Hampton catch you, it'll be terrible." I said, "Really?" And, of course, I appreciated her telling me that, and I didn't wear them anymore. Well, I'd put on a skirt when I came out of the gym. |
