Holmes-Hunter Lecture featuring Charlayne Hunter-Gault

Charlayne Hunter-Gault (ABJ ’63) will present the 2018 Holmes-Hunter Lecture. The lecture is named in honor of Hunter-Gault and her classmate Hamilton Holmes, the first African-American students to attend UGA. They arrived on campus in 1961 after civil rights leaders in Atlanta successfully challenged the segregation policy at the state’s universities. Hunter-Gault graduated from the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication in 1963, going on to work for prestigious media outlets like The New Yorker, The New York Times, PBS, CNN and NPR.
