“What in the world have I gotten myself into?” These nine words eptomized my first visit at Grambling State University. “Why did I choose to come to college in a town where there are only two street lights?” I kept asking myself. “What other fast food restaurants do they have here besides Church’s and Subway?”  […]

Dear ole Grambling, my experiences here have been truly remarkable. I remember being in Las Vegas, when traveling to another state was only a dream.

If taxpayers acted more like the Grambling players, who refused to attend the team’s game against Jackson State in protest this weekend, maybe higher education in Louisiana would be in a better place.
