Clark Atlanta’s Founders Day features Delores Aldridge as speaker

Clark Atlanta University (CAU) will celebrate its 2013 Founders Day with an address by renowned educator, CAU trustee and alumna Delores Aldridge on Thursday. She will speak at 10:45 a.m. in the Vivian Henderson Center’s Leonidas Epps Gymnasium, which is at the corner of Vine Street and Atlanta Student Movement Boulevard (formerly Fair Street). “Celebrating Our Legacy: A Past to Cherish; A Future to Fulfill” is the theme for Founders Day and the kick-off for celebrations of the 25th anniversary of the university. In 1988, CAU was formed from the consolidation of two prestigious and historic institutions, Atlanta University, the nation’s first African-American graduate school, and Clark College, the nation’s first private, liberal arts college for African Americans.
