M. ANITA GAY HAWTHORNE, known to students
as "Mom," gave
ten years to Augsburg College. During her tenure she utilized the concept
of Pan-Afrikanism to create a program unique to any college campus in
the country.
Ms. Hawthorne was totally committed to the development
of students and dedicated to the spoken word. She was a visionary for
what Afrikan people can do and an "abolitionist" of ignorance and intolerance
who never met a human being she did not engage personally. PAC continues
to be inspired by her love and through her spirit in the legacy she left
with her untimely death in January 1998.
