Congrats to our Chairman, Thomas W Dortch Jr. on his naming ceremony at Fort Valley State University.
Mr. Dortch Jr., has been the epitome of a True Wildcat since his matriculation from Fort Valley State University in 1972. Striving to make HBCUs a better place for African American scholars, as well as making Georgia a better place to live, learn, and love.
Mr. Dortch Jr., it was an honor to be in the presence of a trailblazer, icon, and a giant in our community.
On behalf of the Mayor of the City of Fort Valley, we hereby proclaim December 6th, 2022, as Thomas W. Dortch Jr. Day in Fort Valley.
My deepest sympathy on the passing of the Honorable Thomas Dortch. He gave everything his all…particularly to the legacy of HBCUs…and we THANK HIM.
