The Amazing
DNA of CAU
A Deeper Look at the Pedigree of Panther Nation
FOREWORD
An Unshakable Evolutionary Model
Deoxyribonucleic Acid, or DNA, is the molecule containing the genetic
coding that makes each species unique. Packaged in chromosomes in the
nucleus of each cell, DNA replicates itself in the most fundamental of
biological processes to ensure that over the course of a species’ evolution,
every living creature retains its distinct organic makeup. Comprised of
four chemical building blocks — adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine, DNA determines the instructions necessary for an organism to
develop, survive and reproduce.
And so it is with institutions, certainly Clark Atlanta University.
We often refer to the heritage and legacy of universities. Few pedigrees are
as distinguished as ours. Whether you graduated from Clark University,
Atlanta University, Clark College or Clark Atlanta University, our alumni
share a remarkable organizational genealogy that, similar to the four elements of DNA, combines intellectual
prowess, social activism, entrepreneurship and profound creativity. For nearly 150 years — or 294 years, if
you consider the dual histories of our parent institutions Atlanta University (1865) and Clark College (1869)
— our students, faculty, staff and alumni have manifested these institutional attributes through expansive
personal, professional, civic and social channels. As generations have entered the gates of Alma Mater, each
ensures that the CAU pedigree continues to develop, survive and reproduce. In this issue of Clark Atlanta magazine, we will examine microscopic evidence of each of these attributes
through the lens of their geneses: the Phylon in the 1940s; the Atlanta Student Movement in the 1960s; the
School of Business’ rise to prominence during the late 1970s and early 1980s and beyond; and the prevailing
arts movement in today’s CAU. We also will meet alumni who have proven essential to the development,
survival and reproduction of CAU’s “Spirit of Greatness.” Two in particular, Trustee Delores Aldridge, Ph.D.,
and Judge Marvin Arrington, have modeled approaches to giving that affirm the strength of our lineage. Our
strength also is fortified by the generosity of alumni, corporate and foundation partners and friends, and this
issue gives us the opportunity to simply say “thank you” for your continued and loyal support.
Scientific research tells us that, if unwound and tied together, the strands of DNA in one cell would be only 50
trillionths of an inch wide. Yet, in humans, the total DNA molecules unwrapped, would likely reach the moon
6,000 times. Here again, the most fundamental laws of nature apply to CAU. Our collective reach, measured
through the impact of our alumni in communities around the world, far exceeds mere numbers. When you
consider all that we have accomplished in such a short window of time, we can safely assert that Panther
Nation is a sterling, original model of institutional evolution. Hence, we continue to envision our future with
confidence, conviction and unshakable pride.
Happy Homecoming!
Carlton E. Brown,
President

collection of open problems to shape the
direction of future work in these areas.
The papers also were presented in two
American Mathematical Society symposia
convened in January 2013.
“Research is done not only for its aesthetic and intellectual significance, but
also for its intrinsic value to others in their
work,” said Mickens. “This book illustrates the impact of one of my research
activities, and I thank my colleagues and
friends who have used and generalized my
results. I am honored and humbled by this
gesture, an affirmation of my life’s work.”
Mickens received the bachelor’s degree
in physics from Fisk University and a
Ph.D. degree in theoretical physics from
Vanderbilt University. He’s held postdoctoral positions at the MIT Center for
Theoretical Physics, Vanderbilt University and the Joint Institute for Laboratory
Astrophysics and was a physics professor
at Fisk University. He began his tenure at
CAU’s parent institution Atlanta University in 1982.
Mickens has published more than 300
peer-reviewed scientific/mathematical
research articles and written and/or edited
15 books. He serves on editorial boards
of several research journals, including
the Journal of Difference Equations and
Applications and the International Journal
of Evolution Equations. His scholarly
writings have appeared in reference works
such as African American Lives (Oxford
University Press), American National
Biography (Oxford University Press), and
the Biographical Encyclopedia of Scientists
(Marshall Cavendish).
Honors include fellowships from the
Ford, Woodrow Wilson, and National
Science foundations and election to Phi

CAU Educator Named a Vulcan Teacher of the Year
Trevor A. Turner, Ph.D., associate
professor in the Department of
Educational Leadership, was recently
named Clark Atlanta University’s
Vulcan Teacher of the Year by Vulcan
Materials Company. The veteran
educator has spent nearly 30 years at
CAU as an administrator and professor.
A highly published international
consultant, Turner holds a bachelor’s
degree in history, economics and Spanish from the University of the West
Indies, a master’s degree in educational

The CAU-TV News Team Covers First Lady Michelle Obama
The pool of journalists, photographers
and cameramen who trail First Lady
Michelle Obama rarely, if ever, includes
college students. But in a stroke of good
fortune, four members of the CAU-TV
news team were cleared by the White
House to cover the first lady and Education Secretary Arne Duncan during their September 8 visit to Atlanta’s
Booker T. Washington High School.
The CAU crew, led by station
manager Murdell McFarlin, included
Shakeenah Benjamin and Tyera Braud,
who were joined by A’Lexus McCollum
and Samuel White, who attend Spelman
and Morehouse, respectively.
The first lady traveled to Atlanta to launch her “Reach Higher” education initiative, an effort to inspire students to pursue post-secondary education opportunities.
In her remarks she cited CAU as one of the paths they can take to take charge of their
futures.
“You have to understand that completing high school is not the end but the beginning of your life’s journey. In today’s world, in order to compete in an ever-globalizing
economy, you’ve got to continue your education after you graduate from high school,”
Obama said. “And fortunately, there are many paths that you can take — whether
that’s a professional training program, a four-year school like Georgia State or Emory
or Clark Atlanta, or a community college like Atlanta Metro State College. But no
matter where you go, the important thing is that you go somewhere.”
The CAU crew’s coverage aired on the nightly news program, The Source. At a
separate event, Duncan participated in a question and answer session with CAU,
Morehouse and Spelman students about the need for committed teachers.
Princeton Review Names CAU
on its “Best in the Southeast”
List for 2015
The Princeton Review has once again
named Clark Atlanta University one of
the best schools in the Southeast, based
on its academics and majors, campus life
and facilities. It is one of 139 institutions
in 12 states on the education services company’s “Best in the Southeast” list as part
of the online feature, “2015 Best Colleges:
Region by Region.”
“This recognition is coupled with
another recent accolade as one of the top
20 historically black colleges and universities as ranked by U.S. News & World
Report,” said CAU President Carlton E.
Brown. “Despite a challenging economic
climate for our students and their parents,
CAU remains a school of choice with a
mission as important today as ever.”
According to Robert Frank, the Princeton Review’s senior vice president and
publisher, the list is based on institutional
data the company collects directly from
several hundred colleges in each region,
staff visits to the schools and recommendations from college counselors and advisors.
“Our selections also take into account
what students at the schools report to us
about their experiences on our 80-question
student survey for this project,” Frank
added. “We ask every question that a
prospective applicant might want to
ask on a campus visit. Only schools that
permit us to independently survey their
students are eligible to be considered for
our regional best lists.”

Educator Steve Perry Delivers Keynote Address at the School of Social Work’s Annual Conference
Innovative educator Steve Perry delivered
the keynote address during the Whitney M. Young Jr. School of Social Work’s
Annual Conference on June 26. The speech
was rebroadcast on C-Span in August.
Perry is the founder and principal of
what U.S. News & World Report has cited
as one of the top schools in the country,
the Capital Preparatory Magnet School in
Hartford, Conn. The school has sent 100
percent of its predominantly low-income,
minority, first-generation high school
graduates to four-year colleges every year
since its first class graduated in 2006.
Featured on CNN’s Black in America
series, Perry, a native of Middletown,
Conn., says he is in a hurry to transform his
community. He was born on his mother’s
16th birthday, and it would have been easy
to languish as part of the family’s third generation of poverty. Instead, Perry became
a living example of how success is determined by where you end up, not where you
start. It is this philosophy that inspired him

to transform the lives of poor and minority
children by providing them with opportunities to pursue college educations.
Perry is a vocal advocate of personal
and civic responsibility in all aspects of
life. He emphasizes the social issues that
aim to build up both the individual and
the community so that successive generations will be contributing members of
society. His secrets of success and calls to
action are explained in his new book, Push
Has Come to Shove: Getting Our Kids the
Education They Deserve – Even If It Means
Picking a Fight.
The educator is a contributor to CNN
and MSNBC, an Essence magazine columnist, best-selling author, and host of the
#1 TVONE docudrama, Save My Son. He
holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Rhode Island,
a master’s degree in social work from the
University of Pennsylvania and an Ed.D. in
educational leadership from the University
of Hartford.

CAU Receives UPS Foundation Grant
Clark Atlanta University on Aug. 25 received a $50,000 grant from
the UPS Foundation, the charitable arm of UPS. The grant will be
used to fund 10 $5,000 scholarships and requires each recipient to
perform 150 hours of community service per semester.
“We are grateful for a long relationship with the UPS Foundation and for its continued support of the university since this
program was initiated in 1995,” said Trisa Long Paschal, vice
president for Institutional Advancement and University Relations.
“The grant is now approaching the $1 million mark and for nearly
20 years has helped many students engage in community service,
which enlivens one of Clark Atlanta’s mottos, ‘Culture For Service’.”
Established in 1951, the Atlanta-based foundation identifies
specific areas where its support clearly impacts social issues and
has identified the following focus areas for giving: nonprofit effectiveness, encouraging diversity, community safety and environmental sustainability.
In 2011, it distributed more than $45.3 million worldwide
through grants that benefit organizations or community service
programs such as this one and provide support for building stronger communities.
“The UPS Foundation is honored to support Clark Atlanta
University’s efforts in community service,” said the organization’s
president, Eduardo Martinez. “Our goal is to fund powerful programs that make a lasting difference to the global community.”
SGA President Faron Manuel Wins Prestigious
National Essay Contest
Student Government Association president Faron Manuel is
the first winner of a national contest sponsored by the Center
for Community Change and The Nation magazine titled
“Being the Change.” Young people were asked to submit a
photo illustrating courage or resilience in confronting
economic hardship in their life and community and a 500word essay about what that means to them.
In his poignant entry, Manuel, who has worked as a docent
in the Clark Atlanta University Art Galleries for two years,
talked about how he has used art to “spark conversations
about resilience, anger, rage and hope tapping into long-buried
feelings” with students visiting the Galleries on field trips.
“Teaching the youth by using art as a tool to evoke
constructive dialogue about pressing issues like racism and
poverty in our society has renewed my hope for positive
change. Many of the young people that visit the Galleries
leave with a new outlook on life,” Manuel wrote. “They
become inspired or hopeful by a connection they have
made with a piece of art or with someone who was similarly
moved by the artwork. My job as docent afforded me the
opportunity to play a key role in inducing these types of
experiences and interactions and it is in this type of work
that I find the most significance.”

Unfolding the
Phylon Files
T
he phrase “publish or perish” is not the quite the threat it used to be for faculty
looking to get on the tenure track or maintain high academic credibility. Indeed,
the Internet has given birth to a number of credible academic journals eager to
use their writing. But what type of challenge does a university face when it tries to
launch an authoritative, academic journal in an already crowded field?
In January, Clark Atlanta University hired sociologist Obie Clayton, Ph.D., to find
that out. His task? Resurrecting The Phylon, the dormant academic journal that W.E.B.
Du Bois founded while teaching at Atlanta University in the 1940s.
On the heels of the University’s internationally acclaimed 2012 Du Bois International
Conference, co-chaired by President Carlton E. Brown, who commissioned the
University’s bronze bust of the iconic scholar, and Stephanie Y. Evans, Ph.D., Graduate
Dean Shirley Williams-Kirksey accelerated her efforts to revive the journal, which was
last published in 2006. After spending two years promoting the proposed re-launch, she
believes Clayton’s appointment, which comes after teaching stints at the University of
Georgia and Morehouse, means all of that effort will finally pay off.
12 CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY FALL 2014
1940s
“Dr. Clayton is a sociologist who knows the disciplines and themes Du Bois excelled
in,” she says, “so he is the best person to bring back The Phylon.”
James Hefner, Ph.D., CAU’s provost and vice president for academic affairs, knew
that bringing Clayton to campus was essential to the Phylon effort.
“I intentionally recruited Dr. Clayton to revive The Phylon,” he says. “As a distinguished professor of sociology at Morehouse and the University of Georgia, he will continue Dr. Du Bois’s role as a scholar/activist.”
Clayton, who is president-elect of the Association of Black Sociologists and a professor of sociology and criminal justice in CAU’s College of Arts and Sciences, taught at
Atlanta University in the 1980s. He remembers the journal fondly, but recognizes that
the new Phylon will require a slightly different approach, including an online component, if it is going to be a relevant and accessible forum for ideas.
According to Clayton, there has been a great proliferation of academic journals in the
last 25 years, spurred in part by the Internet. In sociology alone – an academic field Du
Bois helped create – the choices are numerous. The American Sociological Association,
which once published just two major journals, now produces eight.
But Clayton is undeterred and unafraid of a little competition. After all, he’s been
given a gem in the world of academic discourse.
“There will always be a demand to be published in The Phylon because of its founder’s
legacy and reputation,” he says.
Du Bois looms large in the field and is the namesake for the lifetime achievement
award that the American Sociological Association presents each year. CAU and the
Woodruff Library house some of Du Bois’s papers and there are research centers devoted
to his work in Ghana, West Africa, and at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
But it is in Atlanta where the New England-born Du Bois found his most enduring
intellectual home, publishing his best works while serving on the Atlanta University
faculty.

Du Bois’s arrival in 1897 put AU at
the forefront of American sociology. The
Philadelphia Negro, a book he published
two years after joining the faculty, is
considered the country’s first scientific
sociological study.
While departments at other universities that eventually gained renown were
just getting started, Du Bois was busy
breaking new ground in the type of
scientific, rigorous research that would
come to define modern sociological
thought.
“He was doing research in AfricanAmerican life in terms of religion, education, crime, health and more,” says Clayton. “Everything we look at now, Du Bois
was doing at the turn of the 20th century.”
When Du Bois founded The Phylon in
1940, it captured some of the finest black
intellectual discussions of the day. The
new Phylon, according to Clayton, will
focus on sociology, political science, psychology and African-American studies.
The first issue, to be published this
year and guest edited by Stephanie
Evans, Ph.D., chair of CAU’s Department
of African American Studies, Africana
Women’s Studies and History, will feature articles based on the seminars and
conferences about Du Bois that CAU has
hosted for the past two years.
“The papers selected for the first issue are in three categories: Du Boisian Ideas, Du Bois and Historical Figures and Du
Bois in the World,” Evans explains. “Some papers cover issues
like education, gender and memory, as well as geographic
consideration of Du Bois’s interactions with India, China and
Africa.”
“We definitely want to make it international,” says Clayton,
who believes Africa will be a particularly important focus
area. “Du Bois died in Ghana, so why not open it up to the
continent?”
CAU will initially publish The Phylon twice a year. As its
momentum grows, Clayton plans to produce a special edition
between regular issues to highlight the scholarship of CAU
students.

Clayton is also establishing a new
W.E.B. Du Bois Institute at the University. Designed to be a modern-day version of Du Bois’s Atlanta Sociological
Laboratory, it will research social issues
affecting local and national communities. For example, the institute will sponsor a conference examining the impact
of Shelby County v. Holder, the 2013 U.S.
Supreme Court decision that eliminated
key provisions of the Voting Rights Act
of 1965. The discussions the institute
fosters on this and other topics will help
inform and direct future Phylon editions.
As the academic world comes to
learn more about CAU, its students and
its scholarship through The Phylon, the
journal will create another strong, southern connection with one of America’s
most prominent black intellectuals.
The Du Bois seminars and conference
CAU convened in 2012 and 2013, “demonstrated the imperative to read Du Bois
from the [perspective] of the American
South,” according to Evans. The Phylon,
she adds, builds on “the legacy of excellence initiated by concentrated studies
based out of Atlanta as a critical site,
but touching on comparative regional,
national, and international contexts.”
For Clayton, resurrecting The Phylon
is an opportunity to connect CAU’s sociology program with
one of the most brilliant sociologists of all time.
“AU never got the credit it deserved for being one of the
country’s oldest and most innovative sociology departments
under Du Bois,” he says. “That privilege always went to the
predominately white institutions, but the techniques and
methodologies he employed were far superior to what was
being turned out at other institutions at the time.”
Fortunately, Du Bois’s intellectual greatness did not die
when he passed away in 1963, nor has it been forgotten on
CAU’s campus. The University, its sociology department —
and now the journal, that are his academic legacies — will
continue to advance the essential Du Boisian discourse on
race, class, religion and politics that started right here more
than a century ago. n

rowing up in segregated Atlanta, Lydia Tucker never gave much thought to
separate facilities for whites and coloreds, as African-Americans were called
back then. It’s just the way things were.
“When my mother took us downtown, I saw the water fountains with the
Colored and Whites Only signs, but she would never let us drink from any fountain
because as a nurse she was concerned with germs,” Tucker recalls. “We had to get
water before we left home and we also couldn’t use public restrooms.”
Her political awakening came in February 1960 during her senior year at Clark
College when Lonnie King, a student activist over at Morehouse College, invited the
top three student government officers from each of the Atlanta University Center
institutions to attend a meeting. Tucker, secretary of Clark’s student body, had no
idea that she was about to become part of a revolution to desegregate Atlanta’s public
facilities.
When King explained their mission, “I was stunned and said, ‘We’re going to
do what now?’” she recalls. “But I listened and my appetite was whetted enough to
attend a second meeting and that’s how I got involved. I had no idea that we were
going to make history. The only thing I could think about was that there was a
need to bring awareness to the problem and solve it and I wanted to be a part
of that.”
Student government leaders joined with other activists from the AUC
campuses to form the Atlanta Student Movement. The presidents of their
respective institutions challenged the group to create a document that ultimately became known as “An Appeal for Human Rights,” which called for
an end to unjust racial segregation and highlighted various issues, from
education to voting rights. The document was published as full-page ads
in Atlanta’s daily newspapers, the New York Times, the Congressional

Record and other major publications.
They also planned sit-ins at lunch counters and other public facilities, which, with the exception of Clark College’s Dr.
James B. Brawley, the presidents did not support.
America’s history is filled with icons who sacrificed their
safety and in some cases their lives in the fight for civil rights.
Martin Luther King Jr., Medgar Evers, Julian Bond and Georgia Congressman John Lewis are among the best known. But
they undoubtedly would not have been able to make such an
indelible mark without the thousands of students on HBCU
campuses across the south who were willing to make the very
same sacrifices, some of them also at a cost.
After three sit-ins, Tucker felt ready to be arrested, a move
that her widowed mother fervently opposed and an issue on
which they never reconciled, to Tucker’s dismay.
“You have to be ready to give up your life when you start
this and we were. Nothing else mattered except achieving this
goal and you have to get there psychologically. I got to that
point and it didn’t matter if I was killed,” Tucker says. “My
mother wasn’t where I was mentally with this whole movement and that disturbed me a lot.”
It was such a force to be reckoned with that some students
were pressured to drop out because their parents’ employers
had threatened to fire them. In some cases, the local newspapers published the names of the children who’d participated in
sit-ins and other demonstrations to shame them.
Carolyn Long Banks had initially planned to accept a scholarship to UCLA or Pratt Institute to study fashion design, but
agreed to spend at least one year at Clark College, to continue
a family tradition. Her parents, educators who were very
involved in their Atlanta community, knew
their daughter would get
swept up in the civil
rights movement and
stay – and they were
right.
When there was
talk that Ralph A. Long
Sr. should be fired if the
elementary school principal couldn’t get his activist daughters Carolyn and
Wilma under control, the
16
CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY
FALL 2014
threats fell on deaf ears. Indeed, the Longs opened their home
to student organizers and it became a hub where they could
plan their activities.
“We were determined that we were going to make a difference. For the very first march, conducted on May 17, 1960,
we assembled at the CAU quadrangle about 4,000 people,”
which included AUC students and others from Georgia Tech,
Agnes Scott and the University of Georgia, Banks explains. “It
was a pretty great gathering considering we didn’t have social
media.”
What they did have was a determination that has not yet
been replicated since given, as Banks notes, the irony that
African-Americans are fighting some of the same battles for
equality today in such areas as employment and voting rights.
“We left home in our Sunday best, high heels and the whole
bit, which is probably why I have bad feet now,” laughs Banks,
who subsequently was arrested four times.
In addition to demonstrations at places like City Hall, the
Greyhound bus station and other public places, the young
activists targeted Rich’s Department Store, which wouldn’t
allow blacks to dine in its restaurants. In response, the student activists led a boycott of the store during which consumers stopped using their charge cards to demonstrate the local
black community’s economic power. In October, many students, alongside leaders like King, were arrested and, refusing
bail, spent two weeks in jail. The movement grew to include
concerned whites and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee opened an office on a street that ran through
Clark’s campus.
It took nearly two years and a loss of millions of dollars, but Rich’s eventually gave
in to the students’ demands. In May 1962,
owner Dick Rich invited Banks to be the
first to integrate the store’s elegant Magnolia Room. The black restaurant workers beamed with pride and clapped
when she arrived to enjoy afternoon
tea with Lucille Scott, whose family
owned the Atlanta Daily Mirror.
How did it feel to make history?
Interestingly, Tucker and Banks
didn’t feel like they were special,
just doing their duty.
“It wasn’t something you sought glory for, just something
that had to be done and it was our time and place to do it,”
Banks says.
The AUC Woodruff Library is a highly respected repository
for historical documentation of the Atlanta Student Movement. The collection contains newspaper and journal articles,
flyers, reports and correspondence by and about students
from the AUC schools. It includes photographs and a copy of
the “An Appeal for Human Rights” signed by student government officers from each of the AUC schools, and anniversary
commemorations from each decade are also documented in
the collection.
“These are among our most highly researched collections.
People are very much interested in the civil rights movement
and what students of the Atlanta University Center were
doing,” says head archivist Andrea Jackson. “They were so well
known for writing the ‘Appeal on Human Rights’ and featured
in publications like Look magazine that had national reach.
People are still very interested in how they came together
across all of the campuses and worked collaboratively with
people like King and other prominent individuals.”
Atlanta City Council member Michael Bond, son of Julian
Bond, spent much of his childhood witnessing history as it
took place. The AUC campuses were part of the landscape of
his life and leaders like King, Evers and Lewis, and Andrew
Young were uncles, not luminaries. It wasn’t until his teenage
years that he realized how extraordinarily fortunate he and his
siblings were.
In 2010, Bond sponsored legislation to rename Raymond
Street, where the SNCC was headquartered, after the organization. Fair Street, where CAU’s student center sits, was renamed
Atlanta Student Movement Boulevard.
“‘When you think about the Atlanta Student Movement
and what they were able to accomplish in a very, very short
time, with students literally heading the movement, with the
advice of some of the college presidents, some of the
local legal folks and of course
being
advised
from time to
time by King
and Rev. Boone,
it is a tremendous
accomplishment,”
Bond says. “And
when people come to
the community and
students matriculate
in the AUC, they know
that something major
took place there.” n

hrough the 1970s into the mid-1980s, the Atlanta University School of Business rose to national prominence,
holding the distinction of producing more black MBAs
than any other MBA program in the United States.
Many of AU’s graduates were part of the first significant wave
of black professionals to carve out careers on Wall Street and
in the financial services industry, and still others became successful corporate executives across all industries or innovative
entrepreneurs who created jobs in fields in which blacks had
not previously been represented.
One faculty member, Edward Irons, DBA, played a key role
in establishing AU’s early dominance in producing successful
MBA graduates and then helped maintain the school’s tradition of excellence as it continued to produce top-flight graduates after AU merged with Clark College in 1988 and formed
the Clark Atlanta University School of Business. Irons, a wellestablished business executive, was more than equipped to lead
the business school during the 30 years he was a professor and
the five years he served as its dean.
When he first joined the business school as the Mills B.
Lane Professor of Banking and Finance in 1971, Irons had
already co-founded and served as president of the black-

owned Riverside National Bank in Houston; helped establish
and run Atlanta Life Insurance Corporation, the second
largest black-owned life insurance company in the nation;
and played a role in launching Howard University’s first
business school in 1967. Those experiences armed him when
the time came to build the AU finance department into
the University’s largest. His financial services industry ties
enabled him to help many graduates get hired at major banks
throughout the nation.
Irons left AU in 1985 to become the District of Columbia’s
first commissioner of banking and financial institutions. He
was lured back to Atlanta to serve as dean of the CAU School
of Business in 1990 and to work on gaining post-consolidation
accreditation for the undergraduate and graduate programs.
“My challenge was to recruit enough professors with doctorates to get accreditation for the CAU undergraduate division within five years,” Irons recalls. “We were able to get the
graduate school reaccredited, because it had been accredited
since 1974 and then get the undergraduate school accredited
for the first time ever. If I hadn’t been successful in getting the
undergraduate division accredited, we would have lost the
accreditation of the graduate school as well.”
That effort made CAU the first HBCU to earn both
graduate and undergraduate accreditation in business.
“That became the catalyst for attracting the best and brightest
students,” he says. “Today we can compete with the major universities that give big scholarships, which is [a fiscal] challenge
for HBCU business schools.”
Irons stepped down as dean in 1995 but stayed on at the
business school for the next 15 years as the Distinguished Professor of Finance and Entrepreneurship.
“I enjoyed that very much because I was able to stimulate
young men and women to go into business, which I feel is the
only way we will be able
to build a wealth base that
will enable us to sit at the
table with the decision
makers in this country,”
says Irons, who retired in
2010.
The benefits of receiving an MBA from the
CAU School of Business
are evident in the success
of its graduates. Darryl
Dr. Edward Irons, DBA
Cobbin, a 1991 graduate, says he owes a number of his major
accomplishments to his CAU experience. Cobbin, president
of the brand strategy firm Brand Positioning Doctors, says
that he not only secured his first job in brand management
through an internship he got while a student at CAU, but what
he learned at the business school propelled him to become
one of the youngest people to be recognized as Brandweek’s
Marketer of the Year in 1997, when he worked on Coca-Cola’s
Sprite campaign.
In addition, CAU graduates have provided an array of networking opportunities that helped him establish his current firm.
“There are [alums] in other fields who can either put you
in a position [pursue different opportunities in business], or if
you are on the entrepreneurial side as I am, put you in position
to possibly get more work,” says Cobbin. “I have been introduced to business opportunities just by virtue of someone
knowing that I went to CAU.”
Dr. Glenda Glover, president of Tennessee State University
and a 1976 School of Business graduate, credits her relationships with CAU professors with accelerating her professional
development. She is especially grateful for the mentoring she
received from Johnnie Clark, the lead accounting professor at
the time, for igniting her passion for accounting and guiding
her to become a CPA.
Glover, who is one of only two black women in the United
States to hold the economics Ph.D.-JD-CPA combination, also
has benefitted from the professional counsel she received from
Irons.
“After I graduated, he and I had conversations and discussed issues in finance and business,” she says, adding that
her relationships with Irons and Clark and the Clark MBA
experience laid a foundation that gave her a springboard onto
corporate and nonprofit boards.
Irons’ legacy has left
the CAU School of Business well positioned to
continue its rich history
of producing thousands of
black MBAs who are prepared to take their place
in corporate America. The
University’s ongoing contributions to Wall Street
and corporate America
are assured. n

Creative Genius
A Creative Force Washes Over CAU
S
helton Jackson Lee may be a Morehouse man, but the
celebrated director, screenwriter and actor, known to
audiences as Spike, is most definitely a CAU production. For it is in Clark Atlanta University’s Mass Media
Arts department, under the tutelage of then-professor Herbert
Eichaelberger, that Lee learned how to execute his craft.
He is perhaps the most famous but by no means the only
person to see his or her name in bright lights after studying
film at the University. Other success stories include Bryan
Barber (CAU ‘96), who directed the film Idlewilde and several
music videos for artists like Outkast, Destiny’s Child and Kelly
Clarkson, and Nnegest Likké, director of the movie Phat Girlz.
At one point, Eichelberger, now interim chairman of the
department, recalls, Idlewilde, Phat Girlz and Lee’s Inside Man
simultaneously held a spot among the top ten films.
“I felt like I’d won an Oscar because I had an influence in
their lives and they’d gone that far,” he said.
For the past few years, Alicia Daniels (CAU ’2006), a former
assistant director of BET Networks’ The Game, has worked
on several Tyler Perry productions, most recently The Single
Moms Club. Word on the street, says Eichelberger, is that Daniels has an office with her name on the door, which is a major
sign of how much faith Perry has in her directing skills.
Long before Atlanta became the Hollywood of the South
with its burgeoning film and television industry, CAU was
nurturing talent in various areas in the arts in ways that simply
aren’t possible at larger, better-known institutions.
“Clark Atlanta gives you the ultimate freedom to explore
the avenues of communication that you desire and there are no
limits. If you want to try something that’s visually exciting and
20
CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY
FALL 2014
expressive, you get the opportunity to do
that,” Eichelberger says. “The faculty here
wants the students to be better than we
are, even with all of our years of learning.
We want them to achieve mightily.”
Gary Yates, who chairs the Department of Speech Communication and
Theatre Arts, agrees that CAU is uniquely
positioned to nurture creative genius in
ways that other schools don’t. He was
attracted to CAU because unlike at a lot
of other colleges and universities, academicians in the performing arts continue
to work in their respective disciplines
outside the classroom, which provides a bridge for students
to internships and professional opportunities.
Performing arts students want to attend CAU, he adds,
because it offers a holistic approach to education that engages
the mind, body and spirit. Students are taught that developing their craft is about more than the physical performance;
they must also learn how to sustain themselves mentally and
spiritually. Yates says this gives them an advantage in graduate
school and the professional world.
“We tend to custom design journeys for our artists to help
them develop their special skill. We are a small institution,
but a very active one, and can do a lot more hands-on to guide
them on their creative path,” says Yates.
According to Yates, not a day goes by when he turns on his
television and doesn’t see someone he’s trained performing in
a television show or commercial. Many graduates also work

in professional theater or have entered
prestigious graduate school programs.
Clark Atlanta’s decades-long tradition of churning out graduates who
are masters of their artistic domains is
something that doesn’t get enough recognition, says James Patterson, director
of the University’s Jazz Orchestra. But
that history, he asserts, is what draws
some of the nation’s most talented students to its campus.
“I think history is responsible for this
creative environment and the people
who’ve attended the University,” says
Patterson, who graduated from Clark
College in 1957.
Patterson is a veritable encyclopedia
of influential people who CAU counts
among its alumni, like James Weldon
Johnson and Fletcher Henderson, as
well as artists like Dizzy Gillespie, Lou
Rawls and Quincy Jones, who’ve been
awarded honorary degrees.
“If you spread the word to others,
then you bring in others with the same
enthusiasm and those who really want
to excel in their chosen fields. You plant
seeds out there,” Patterson says. “It’s like
you’re part of the wind. You wonder why
something sprouts up way over there
that originated somewhere over here. It’s
like the wind blows people out of here
and plants seeds around the world.”
Patterson is extraordinarily proud
of all the musical seeds he has planted
in the nation’s orchestras. One shining example is Sherman Irby, a musical
prodigy he recruited from Tuscaloosa,
Ala. when the acclaimed bandleader and
saxophonist was just 17. He went on to
become a lead reed player in the famed
Lincoln Center’s jazz program in New York City, working
under the leadership of the extraordinary musician Wynton
Marsalis.
“He is phenomenal and I’m proud to have brought him to
Clark Atlanta,” Patterson says. “He is now on top of the world
in terms of being an artist.”
CAU’s creative legacy also extends to the visual arts. In
the forties, when “Negro” artists were prevented by segrega22

tion from widely exhibiting their works,
the Atlanta University faculty held an
annual, juried show. During a period
of 29 years, nearly 900 artists sent their
work to be judged and sold. Those
deemed the most talented, explains
CAU Art Galleries Director Tina Dunkley, were paid between $15 and $250
for their work. Many of those pieces are
now integral parts of the University’s
impressive art collection.
“In time, with the civil rights movement in the sixties, many of the artists
became very well known and represented in major museums across the
world,” she says.
One need not be an artist to benefit
from the collection, Dunkley adds.
“Institutions that have major art collections are using them across disciplines,” she explains. “It’s about becoming
visually literate and having an understanding of what you’re looking at and
being able to articulate it, which is applicable across many different disciplines
and sparks a creative way of thinking.”
CAU senior Faron Manuel, whom she
met when he was in high school, came to
the University to study communications
and film, but switched majors after falling in love with history.
Working in the Galleries, he also
discovered he loved to talk about the
artwork and what it meant to him, interpreting the pieces for audiences that
included students his age and younger
and adults on tour, explains Dunkley.
Last year, he curated an exhibition on
Négritude, which she suspects inspired
a local museum to do the same.
Manuel was chosen to participate in
a prestigious fellowship sponsored by the Mellon Foundation that offered a weeklong introduction to museum studies
and curation. He was the only student in the group who had
curated an exhibit, Dunkley crows.
It doesn’t matter whether he becomes a museum curator
because what he’s learned is so much larger than that and will
put him in good stead no matter what field he ultimately enters.
“I’m ecstatic about that,” Dunkley said. n

Double the Investment,
Double the
s a top student and valedictorian of her high school class,
Delores P. Aldridge had what
for some would have been an
embarrassment of riches in terms of
college acceptances and scholarships.
But for the Florida native, Clark College was an easy choice, reinforced by
strong recommendations from teachers, family members and alumni.
“It was the best decision I could
have made for Clark was a warm,
nurturing environment with an
excellent faculty,” she says. “As a
testimony of the faculty’s nurturing and dedication, I received
all of my class assignments and never fell behind while
incarcerated as a participant in the civil rights movement in
Atlanta.”
Aldridge thrived at Clark and delivered the same excellent academic performance as she had in high school, including being named valedictorian of the class of 1963. She then
attended Atlanta University’s School of Social Work, which
was considered one of the finest in the nation.
That graduation ceremony also was a truly memorable
event, Aldridge recalls. As she walked across the stage to
receive her diploma, suddenly, there was an “utter silence,”
followed by camera flashbulbs and the announcement that
Aldridge was the School of Social Work’s 100th graduate.
She describes her relationship with Clark College, Atlanta
University and now Clark Atlanta University as a “long love
affair” that she cherishes.
“I was anchored at this institution with warmth and many
lifelong friendships. More important, the quality of education
prepared me to go forward to become a citizen leader and a
scholar striving to be a problem solver in a global society,”
Aldridge says.
Aldrige went on to become the first African-American
woman to earn a Ph.D. in sociology from Purdue University
and the first African-American woman to serve as a faculty
member at Emory University, where she was the founding

director of the first degree-granting African American and
African Studies program in the South. Aldridge is currently
the Grace Towns Hamilton Distinguished Professor Emerita
of Sociology and African American Studies at Emory.
She is considered to be a trailblazer in the fields of race and
ethnic relations and the development of African-American
studies. In addition to receiving numerous honorary degrees
and other awards, she is the author of more than 160 books,
monographs, articles and book chapters.
The history maker attributes that success largely to her
“beginnings” at her beloved alma mater, to which she has
shown a deep devotion for more than five decades through
financial gifts and service on Clark College’s and CAU’s boards
of trustees.
Most recently, Aldridge donated $150,000 to the University. The funding will be used to encourage giving. She also has
donated her coveted academic papers to the University’s archives.
“I feel I have no choice but to be an ardent supporter of this
great institution and to continue to promote it through financial gifts and services,” she explains. “This recent small gift of
$150,000 is just one of the many ways in which I can give back,
for I can never fully repay Clark Atlanta.”
The feeling is mutual. In appreciation for Aldridge’s extraordinary generosity, the University will name the auditorium in
the Thomas W. Cole Center for Research in Science and Technology after her and her late husband, Kwame Essoun. n

Investing in
the Next
By Jo yce Jones
Generation
of Leadership
R
ecalling the famous Langston Hughes
poem titled “Mother to Son,” Judge Marvin
S. Arrington, Sr., says that growing up in
an Atlanta public housing project “was no
crystal stair.” But as in the poem, his parents, who
worked as a truck driver and a domestic worker,
encouraged their five children to rise above the
metaphorical tacks and splinters of their difficult
circumstances to reach landings and turn corners.
And climb they did: Arrington and his siblings
each earned undergraduate degrees and three
became lawyers.
“If not for Clark, I don’t know where in the world I would
be today,” says Arrington.
When he first arrived on campus, he worried about whether
he was prepared to survive his new environment. Some good
old-fashioned advice from football coach L.S. Epps helped.
“Good babies don’t cry, you just do what you have to do,” was
his advice, but Arrington’s fears were not totally unfounded.
The early sixties was one of the most exciting periods in
Atlanta and national civil rights history. Suddenly Arrington,
who at the time considered himself to be “just average,” found
himself surrounded by student leaders like Carolyn Long
Banks, Lonnie Davis, Charlayne Hunter, Cynthia Tucker,
Delores Aldridge and others who were fearlessly at the forefront of the charge to end segregation in the South — no matter the personal cost.
Benjamin Brown (CC, ‘61), a founding member of the
Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and a future
Georgia state representative, was a particular inspiration and
his hero and role model, Arrington says. Brown and many
people at Clark pushed Arrington to realize his own leadership potential.
“They had courage and guts. As I look back, I met some

giants and they made you just want to be the best you could,”
he says.
After graduating from Clark in 1964 with a bachelor’s
degree in sociology, Arrington went to Howard University’s
School of Law. After one year, he and Clark classmate Clarence
Cooper transferred to Emory University and became the first
two African-Americans to study law fulltime at the institution. After several years of service, including as president, on
what is now the Atlanta City Council, Arrington was in 2001
appointed a superior court judge for Fulton County, a position
he held until 2011 when he retired from the bench.
He has for many years been a general and consistent annual
benefactor to the University, whose giving has totaled nearly
$75,000.
Arrington also shares his time and wisdom with CAU students, and is a longtime supporter of Law Day, during which
alumni in the legal professions counsel and mentor students
aspiring to pursue careers in the field.
“I take the position that to whom much is given, much is
required, and I would not have accomplished what I have if
I hadn’t gotten a good education at Clark College,” Arrington
says. “So I give because I want to help the next generation
become great leaders.” n
