Thomas W. Dortch Jr

Fought for over 5 decades to create opportunities for the underserved and overlooked communities across the United States and beyond. His contributions to our Historically Black Colleges and Universities, non-profit organizations, and minority businesses are immeasurable, but he would be the first to say that there is so much more work to be done.
