AUBURN, Ala. (AP) Josetta Brittain Matthews, the first Black student to receive a degree from Auburn University, was immortalized Wednesday when her name was formally affixed to the campus dormitory that houses Honors College students.
Josetta Brittain Matthews Hall – formerly known as Eagle Hall – was formally unveiled in a ceremony at which university officials, Matthews’ family and friends joined together in the Village to honor the late professor.
It was the second time in a week that a Black woman was recognized for her contributions to Auburn University. The former Tiger Hall, also in the Village, was renamed Bessie Mae Holloway Hall last week, in honor of the the school’s first African American Board of Trustees member.
