Uplifting a "New" South
Spelman College is a private, liberal arts, historically Black college for women located in Atlanta, Georgia. Spelman holds a legacy rich in community perseverance and achievement, clearly representing the ideals illuminated by KCAC's Educating For Citizenship strand. The Georgia KCAC team therefore examined Spelman's rich history and learned how a desire to learn, dedication, decades of hard work, and sometimes, a little extra help from above came together to create one of America's truly remarkable educational success stories.
