Charlayne Hunter-Gault

In January 1961, Charlayne Hunter and Hamilton Holmes walked past screaming mobs to become the first African American students to enroll at the University of Georgia, breaking a century of segregation on that campus. She built one of American journalism's most decorated careers — reporter for The New Yorker and The New York Times, national correspondent on PBS's NewsHour, and bureau chief for NPR and CNN in Johannesburg — winning Emmys, a Peabody, and the National Association of Black Journalists' Journalist of the Year. Her memoir In My Place chronicles the fight to integrate the South's flagship universities.

“You have to keep telling the story, or the story will die.”
