Book Signing and Conversation with Dr. Rosalee Martin

During the 12-1 pm coffee hour, we will have a book-signing and conversation with Dr. Rosalee Martin, author of the recently published book, Their Stories, Our Stories: Four Presidents of Huston-Tillotson University.  Join us in Founders Hall!

Tillotson (1875) and Samuel Houston (1877) merged in 1952 as Huston-Tillotson College and became a university in 2005.  Huston-Tillotson is the oldest institution of higher education in Austin.  Dr. Martin’s book covers 57 years of HT’s 150-year history and 57 years of its 73-year merger.  Their Stories, Our Stories: Four Presidents of Huston-Tillotson University is the first comprehensive book documenting the period of 1965-2022.  It includes stories of leadership during changing and challenging times and attests to the continuing value of vibrant HBCUs as educational, social, and cultural centers in our world today.
