Video Series

Voices of UTrailblazers

Through the culmination of years of archival research and support from dedicated alumni, administrators, and community partners, the Black Alumni Society established the First Black Graduates Project to acknowledge those who blazed the trail in breaking the color barrier at UM in the 1960s and '70s – the “UTrailblazers.” To honor their courage, successes, and contributions to the University community, the Black Alumni Society invited alumni of all ages to share personal stories and support the newly created First Black Graduates Endowed Scholarship, so that all future trailblazers have access to excellence at the U.

In this video series, alumni of the 1960s and '70s, as well as those who came after, tell their personal stories about attending UM. Read more.
