RACIAL FIRSTS On Saturday, Joshua Packwood will deliver the valedictory address at Morehouse College in Atlanta. He's from Kansas City, Missouri, he had a perfect 4.0 GPA, and he's headed to Goldman Sachs in NYC after graduation. Oh, and he's white. He will be the first white student to deliver Morehouse's valedictory address. He said he chose Morehouse because of the attention lavished on him by a recruiter and that the school granted him a "perspective" he wouldn't have gotten at an Ivy League. Of his experience, he said, "I cannot tell you what a black man is. I really learned to look much deeper. It takes a lot of effort to know people." [WLTX] |
