On Friday, June 5, 2020 Lelia Jackson ‘20 and her daughter Kneadee Lester-Jackson ‘20 both received their diplomas from President Clarence D. Armbrister during Johnson C. Smith University’s diploma pick-up. “It was at that moment when our vehicle was next and the president walked towards us that tears just automatically started coming down my face,” Jackson said. “I did not realize the impact of what that meant to me until I actually arrived.”
