Though I never really knew him, I remember his infectious smile and kind treatment of every student he met in the halls. What really astonished and thrilled us was to have a black teacher. This was virtually unheard of in one of the most segregated of the northern rust belt cities. Two years later, at Flint JC, we had two black professors and it was still an extreme rarity and a privilege. Congrats to Mr. Don Coleman for paving the way in that place at that time.Chuck Tottennoreply@blogger.com
