[DSOSU] Overlooked no longer Ohio State University | Ohio State Alumni Magazine. Early Access Pioneers

[Lissner, Scott]

Williams enrolled in 1962 and was one of few African American women at Ohio State at the time. The majority of her classes were in University Hall, which was not wheelchair accessible. So, her brother carried her up the steps to class every day.


Cochran arrived in 1966 and was told she could not attend classes required for her major because they were on the third floor of Derby Hall. Upon learning this, 35 members of Delta Chi fraternity took turns escorting her and carrying her up the steps to class each day.
