| Abstract | Civil rights activist and professor Frank Toland, Sr. was born on June 1, 1920 in Helena, South Carolina. Toland graduated from Draden Street High School in 1939, earning his B.A. degree in English, history, and political science from South Carolina State University. He was accepted into the University of Pennsylvania's master's program as a history major, graduating in 1948 as the only African American in the entire program. Joining the History Department at Tuskegee University in 1949, he served as the chair of the department until 1984. In 1968, Toland was elected as a member of the Tuskegee City Counsel. Head of the membership committee, Chairman of the Political Education Committee, and vice president of the Tuskegee Civic Association, Toland used his membership in the various organizations as a platform to voice his opinions on race relations, especially in regards to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. He passed away on September 12, 2010. |
