Editorial: Biden must keep his promise to HBCUs. Fair funding benefits us all.

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/editorials/article/Editorial-Biden-must-keep-his-promise-to-HBCUs-15891755.php

The struggle for equitable funding has only been amplified by the pandemic. Addressing it, at long last, must be a priority for the Biden administration and the Texas Legislature this session.

It is with profound sadness that Opal Johnson Smith, a "first-class alumna, has passed away.

Opal Johnson Smith, a devoted Prairie View A & M University alumni leader, passed away on Saturday, December 26, 2020. A 1954 graduate, she entered the University at the age of 16, following in the footsteps of her parents and four of her seven older siblings. Graduating at the age of 19 with a degree in Math, she was very popular among her campus peers and had been voted Miss Prairie View in 1954. She thereafter continued to represent the Miss Prairie View contest. In 1958, Opal Johnson married fellow alumnus, Joe Edward Smith. Opal and Joe relocated several times during their 62-year marriage, but she always found and joined a local Prairie View Alumni Association. Well known for her service as President of the Dallas Alumni Association, she organized the annual PV Alumni Scholarship Gala, an event that generated over $1 million in scholarships for PV students. During her tenure as President of the National Alumni Association, she secured many gifts for the University and was inducted into the the National Black College Hall of Fame in 2003. A devoted donor to her alma mater, she always urged others to give. "Give to Prairie View because Prairie View gave to you, "she often said. This mantra is a lasting aspect of her legacy as a distinguished alumna. Roy Perry pictured here with Opal Johnson Smith. She will be missed.
