Otis Johnson to deliver lecture at Savannah State
1-2 p.m. June 11. Gallery of the Asa H. Gordon Library, Savannah State University Campus. Johnson will discuss the federally mandated University System of Georgia desegregation plan that resulted in the transfer of Savannah State’s teacher education program to then Armstrong State College in 1979. SSU received Armstrong’s business administration program in exchange, but the decision sparked student and community protests. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Sand Gnats game to benefit Goodwill

In addition, the Sand Gnats will donate 50 cents for every person who enters Grayson Stadium June 13 with a ticket purchased through Goodwill. If Goodwill sells 1,000 tickets and those 1,000 people come to the game, the Sand Gnats will donate an additional $500.
