ATLANTA Way to go, Spelman College’s graduating class of 1971! The group of women just reached Golden Girl status, a 50th-year milestone.
The group got together for an intimate gathering in Alpharetta and recorded the festivities to share with the class of 2021.
Valerie Daniel Walker-Jones, who studied child development and early childhood education, told 11Alive about the occasion of a lifetime.
“Since the pandemic of 2020, we were not able to have graduation, Founder’s Day, and all the normal festivities. We usually celebrate the Silver Girls, The Golden Girls, and Diamond Daughters. It was a very sad time for us to not be able to get together,” Jones said.
