Abraham Bolden, the first African-American presidential Secret Service agent, came to speak about the struggles he faced as a minority. While on campus, Bolden shared his own stories from decades ago-- and passed along important messages for the future generation. "Have faith in justice and to do right by one another. And to always try to respect one another - that's the main thing I'm trying to get across to people," said Bolden. "I've learned that in his story you can find a lot of inspiration and that's something that I've definitely found today. From his story," said William Miller, a graduate student at FAMU.
Bolden was appointed by John F. Kennedy and gave his insight into the assassination of the president. He went on to say that he was disturbed by the LACK of protection for the President. Bolden is the author of "The Echo from Dealey Plaza," and his son is a professor at FAMU.
