TSU President Glenda Baskin Glover was among the speakers, as was James Ammons, former president of FAMU and North Carolina Central University, who is now chancellor at Southern University at New Orleans.
“FAMU educated me, but Dr. Humphries prepared me for my life’s work,” said Ammons, who served as provost under Humphries.
FAMU President Larry Robinson, a nuclear chemist by training who was recruited to FAMU more than two decades ago by Humphries, described the occasion as a “celebration of life for this great American, an administrator who was eminently brilliant, a visionary, whose brilliance was on constant display.”
