A TEAM OF ADMINISTRATORS, LED BY TIGRESS- Dr. Nancy T. Freeman , PRINCIPAL & EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE Booker Washington Institute VISITED SOME PAST ADMINISTRATOR SENIOR ALUMNI OF THE INSTITUTION...
> ALUMNUS MORRIS M. GRAY, SR., CLASS OF "76"
> ALUMNUS KENNETH Y. BEST, CLASS OF "59", AND ALUMNUS ALEXANDER M. MASSAY, CLASS OF "77", AND FORMER ACTING PRINCIPAL (2013-2015)...

THE PRINCIPAL, IN HER WISDOM, THOUGHT IT WAS PRUDENT TO BEGIN RECOGNIZING SOME OF OUR TIGERS WHO, ONE WAY, OR THE OTHER HAD HAD SOME IMPACTS ON THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF BWI.

ACCORDING TO DR. FREEMAN, THIS EXERCISE OF RECOGNITION WILL BE TRADITIONALIZED, GOING FORWARD, AS HER ADMINISTRATION ALREADY STARTED SAME FOR THE PAST TWO FOUNDER'S DAYS, SINCE HER ASSUMPTION AS PRINCIPAL IN MAY, 2024.

AT EACH OF THE COURTESY VISITS, THERE WERE TEARS- NOT ONLY OF JOY, BUT ALSO OF THE FEELING THAT SOMEBODY STILL HAS THE HOPE THAT HIS LEGACIES STILL LIVE ON... A REASON FOR WHICH HE'S REMEMBERED.

KUDOS, DR. GRANDMA FOR BEING SO FARSIGHTED.

𝔼𝔻𝕀𝕋𝕆ℝ𝕀𝔸𝕃:
THE PRINCIPAL/EXECUTIVE OFFICER IS COGNIZANT OF THE ESSENCE OF RECOGNIZING HER PAST LEADERS AND OTHER SENIOR TIGERS AND TIGRESSES. SHE HASN'T FORGOTTEN YOU. IF IT ISN'T YOU THIS FOUNDER'S DAY, LET'S SEE WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS...
