Texarkana College commemorated 100 years of Black History Month with a powerful and engaging luncheon program, A Century of Impact: Conversations with Black Educators and Leaders, held Thursday, February 12, in the Pinkerton Recreation Center.
The event brought together approximately 150 area high school students, TC students, faculty, staff, and community partners for an afternoon of reflection, dialogue, and celebration focused on legacy, perseverance, and purpose.
The program opened with welcome remarks from Texarkana College President Dr. Jason Smith, followed by a panel discussion moderated by Lee Williams III, Executive Director of Student Success, Retention, and TRIOEOC. The panel featured three distinguished leaders whose careers reflect the transformative power of education and service: George E. Moore, lifelong civic leader, and TC Board of Trustees Secretary; Alonza Allen Mitchell, English professor at Texarkana College and nationally recognized educator; and Joshua A. Wright, recent TC graduate and registered nurse at CHRISTUS St. Michael.
