The Original Graduate, John Sengstacke hat, honors this class of 1933 alumni who served on the Board of Trustees. His pivotal role in establishing the National Newspaper Publishers Association in 1940 showcased his commitment to unity and empowerment among Black-owned newspapers, solidifying his influence in shaping public opinion and advocating for civil rights in America. Sengstacke's dedication to social change extended beyond journalism, as seen in his efforts to integrate the military, champion Affirmative Action legislation, and support the integration of Major League Baseball. His impact on African American communities and dedication to preserving Black newspapers is a testament to his lasting influence and commitment to advancing the rights and opportunities of others.
