Outstanding lady who as the President-of Prairie View A&M University stood eye to eye with the “Good Ole Boys” of the Texas A&M System and told them that she wouldn’t be share-cropped in the field of education at the expense of her HBCU being underserved and underfunded by their system. Since then, that very system has been publicly exposed for its racial biases! Thank You, Dr. Ruth Simmons for “standing your ground”! We Love You! Always and Still LovinU2Life, James M. Sherrod-PVAMU’73 aka “TheMessenger”

What a courageous woman!
Congrats to President Simmons on her book, used to see her on the Brown campus :)
The warmth and intelligence of this leading woman is so inspiring. I’m 66 and she moves me to reach further in my own personal growth…
Can’t wait to read her memoir. What a remarkable lady!
One of my 3 educational heroines! Amazing model of a true educator!
Brava, Dr. Simmons🎉🎉🎉
