tour guide, takes a group of individuals to their next destination during
the 2014 Legacy Tour.
The 2014 Legacy Tour at Saint Augustine’s University (SAU) will go down in the University’s history as a pivotal
event that showcased the rich history of an institution that has shaped and molded thousands of SAU sons and
daughters from across the globe.
On September 20, SAU, founded in 1867 by 11 Episcopal priests, opened its doors to showcase how enriching
and dynamic the university has been for the past 147 years. More than 200 friends of the University, alumni,
faculty, staff and students had the opportunity to take a walk through Falcon history.
Attendees were guided through the tour by SAU students to various buildings on campus. They learned about
alumni such as Bishop Henry Beard Delany, who was the first black bishop consecrated to the Episcopal
Church to Jack Johnson’s, the first African American heavyweight boxing champion, connection to the St.
Agnes Hospital. On June 10, 1946, Johnson was in a car crash in Franklinton, NC and was brought to St. Agnes
Hospital. He was taken to the St. Agnes Hospital because it was the only hospital in the area to service black
patients. Johnson later died.
Glenn Thomas, a 1986 SAU graduate, learned some history about SAU that he never knew.
“I thought the Legacy Tour was really nice,” Thomas said. “I learned some history about the university that I was
not aware of especially regarding the Tuttle Building.”
The Tuttle Building was built in 1926 to serve as the national training center for female church workers through a
two-year course in religion education and social work. continued on page 2
Harvey further shared what SAU means to him.
“The university gave me an opportunity,” Harvey said.
“It [university] was my key to my future back in 1964
being a first generation college student. The university
started me on the preparation to a good life.”
The highlight of the tour was the tribute to one of
SAU’s most notable alumnus, the Legendary Coach
George “Pup” Williams, Class of ‘65.

on the United States dime.
Alumnus John Harvey echoed some of Thomas’
comments.
“I’m still learning things about SAU,” said Harvey, a
1968 graduate. “Some of the history that was shared
of the historic chapel and St. Agnes Hospital was
information that I did not know.”

“He [Johannes Langkilde] was very interested in women’s voting habits and women’s
issues in general,” Evans said. “His producer reached out to me and sent Johannes and his
cameraman all the way from D.C. to interview me based on the NPR story I was included
in last spring, “All the Single Ladies: 5 Takeaways about Unmarried Female Voters.”
Evans continued, “The interview took place at a debate watch party hosted by ActionNC and Women Voting Our
Values. We conducted a pre-interview before the debate and then we discussed my impressions of the debate and
what I felt were the key issues discussed that would be of particular interest to female voters.”

was a great opportunity to sharpen my skills, experience and learn more about my
chosen field, as well as network and meet active professionals.”

their peer mentor tees, thanked chapter president, Pamela

alums provided service with a SAU smile!

education”. At the culmination of the tournament, Mr. Boston got verbal
commitments from each golfer to return again next year. A delicious
lunch was served by DAC members.
