#black365days #DrPlayer #StandwithBennettCollege In honor of Black History Month, here's your daily glimpse into Bennett's history. Tenth President Dr. Willa B. Player was not only the first woman to lead Bennett College, she was also the nation's first African American woman to serve as president of a four-year, fully-accredited liberal arts college. Here she is at her inauguration ceremony on the stage of the Annie Merner Pfeiffer Chapel with Bishop Edgar A. Love. She was formally installed on October 14, 1956 and served until March 1, 1966. You still have time to donate! http://www.bennett.edu/standwithbennett/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbIjFYhTMd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x36lckn6gy4f
