Monteith First Negro Graduate From USC in 68 Years
Henri Monteith, a 20 year old Columbia coed, became the first Black graduate from the University of South Carolina in the 20th century as she earned a pre medical degree alongside about 300 other students. The ceremony contrasted with September when Monteith and two Black men enrolled under federal court order. Monteith plans to teach fifth grade in Columbia next month and later attend medical school at Michigan. She aims to follow her uncle Dr Henry D Monteith into medicine. The two men who enrolled with her remain students, with Robert Anderson due to finish in January and James Solomon pursuing graduate work. Earlier a bomb damaged the Columbia home of Monteith’s uncle, causing no injuries.
