From the Archives 🌟
In 2007, Roscoe C. Brown, Jr., (top left) former president of Bronx Community College and a decorated World War II commander of the famed Tuskegee Airmen—America’s first African American military airmen—received Lehman's President's medal at Commencement.
In the fall of that year, Tuskegee airman Lieutenant Colonel William Wheeler—also the father of Derek Wheeler who was at that time Lehman's VP for Administration—was invited to Lehman's Leonard Lief Library to share his personal experience.
