Wright Enterprises' Jackie Wright shares her experience at UGA and why Pamoja was a lifeline for students.  She began her matriculation at the Unviersity of Georgia a decade after Hamilton Holmes and Charlyne Hunter-Gault in 1961 integrated the University of Georgia.  Wright's educational trajectory was not similar to most students and the arts of Pamoja & BTE,  (Black Theatrical Ensemble founded by Larry Calhoun), a sister organization of Pamoja, were an inspiration.  https://youtu.be/fb5iVDTzq20.
