Threads of purple
Frank Richards
In 1991, Frank Richards' Great Aunt Sadye sent him a letter with this image of his great-grandmother, Sally Blount, who was born in 1867. Sally Blount went to Talledega College, the same college both of Frank's parents had attended. Aunt Sadye's letter said, “Talladega was established in 1867 by the American Mission Association. The AMA was formed by young men at Williams College.”
Curious, Franks followed that connection between Talledega and Williams, sharing his findings in this essay for the 2021 College Bicentennial.
