NCCU’s Walter M. Brown will read from and sign copies of his memoir, I Walked the Sloping Hills.  “The idea that one need not be bound by circumstances of his or her beginnings is a central theme of Walter Brown’s story.  With grace and dignity, he has made the transition and traveled the distance of being born the son of a tobacco factory worker to becoming an educator of great distinction,” writes Dudley Flood, retired superintendent of the NC Dept. of Public Instruction.
