Much of what I have been able to achieve can be directly attributed to my family, friends, coaches and teachers from throughout the Roanoke Valley. I’m looking forward to seeing you all and having the opportunity to personally thank you.” – SAID MASON Author and Roanoke native, Robert Mason, will be speaking about his book "GET EDUCATED: The Man Behind the Common Black College Application".
