Her Story

A Dream Deferred, A Legacy Fulfilled

In 1963, Annie L. Green graduated valedictorian of her high school class in Prattville, Alabama — the same year federal troops forced the desegregation of the University of Alabama. She earned her scholarship. She was ready.

She never got to go.

"She sowed. And she reaped. We are the direct result of her sacrifices."

Instead, Annie channeled her dream into nine children — Johnny, Julius, Jewel, Jonathan, James, Jeremiah, Joseph, Jacquelyn, and Joshua. Every single one earned a college degree.
