Raymond Whitley elected National Chairman and President
Our Houston chapter’s very own, President Raymond Whitley, Jr., has been elected to the position of Chairman and President of the Original L.C. Anderson Alumni Association National Executive Committee. This is a high honor, as our classmates and schoolmates elected him to this national position July 4, 2009, as we celebrated its the school’s 100 year anniversary.
Our historic high school, L.C. Anderson (Austin, Texas), was the first “colored” high school in Austin, opening its doors in 1909. Sadly, the school was closed in 1971. However, we, the former students have made a commitment to preserve the school’s rich legacy, as well as the heritage of African Americans in Austin, Texas. The Original L.C. Anderson Alumni Chapters exist throughout the United States, and Raymond Whitley has been chosen to lead the organization to higher heights.
Congratulations Raymond!
