Ms. Geraldine Odester Amos
1st Black Woman admitted to the
N.O. Baptist Theological Seminary
In 1956.
“the day of registration I was informed that I would not be allowed to use the restrooms, the cafeteria, the dining hall, the chapel, nor the library. If I had needs I would have to get a bus and ride the 13 blocks to Dillard University. (All the eating places around the Seminary were segregated, too).
Help us Honor This Woman who didn’t
Say ‘THIS IS TOO HARD’, but stayed the course
and paved the way for
Others WITH HER STAND!
Feb 25th at 6 p.m. at the Pleasant Zion B.C.
3317 Toledano Street.
