From page 197: Harold Alonza Franklin, a thirty-one-year-old graduate student in history and political science who was born in Talladega, became the first black student in Auburn University's 107-year history on January 4, 1964.... Franklin did not graduate from Auburn, however. The first black to do so was Josetta M. Matthews of Montgomery and Tuskegee, who received a master's degree in education in 1966. From 2nd edition, 1996, page 176: Auburn's first black student walks near Samford Hall after enrolling for graduate study in history... Franklin left Auburn after one year without completing work toward the degree.... Franklin received a master's degree in international studies from the University of Denver in 1976. He later taught history at Tuskegee University and Talladega College, where he also headed the Upward Bound Program. In 1996, Franklin, sixty-three, was managing a mortuary.
