Bishop State has a storied history of providing education for Southern Alabama’s Black community, when higher education was segregated. It was founded in 1927 as a teachers college and evolved into a two-year college nine years later.
Gardner says that the people demanding Kennedy’s job are misinformed about the affairs of the college.
“For people to call for her resignation, it’s very offensive to me because they are talking without nearly enough information, forming judgments that are ill-informed and that are not called for,” he says. “I’ve known Yvonne Kennedy for many years, and I’ve followed her career and I know that she is completely honest. She is bright and she has been an asset to Bishop State and an asset to this community.”
