• Remembering Odessa Pettway Thornton · 3y ago

  Former student from Accra

  I arrived in Atlanta at nineteen, with no family within five thousand miles. Dr. Thornton fed me every Sunday for four years and wrote the recommendation that got me into my doctoral program. I now run a research lab at the University of Ghana, and I keep a red pen on my desk.
