Lawrence C. Gorman
- ... that Lawrence C. Gorman worked to have the first black students admitted as undergraduates at Georgetown University? Source: "In 1947, University President Fr. Lawrence Gorman, S.J., asked administrators to include at least one black student in the next freshman class. That did not happen, but as the culture of the university began to shift over the next three years, black students were admitted to graduate programs, the medical school and the law school. Finally, in 1950, the university accepted Halsey to the School of Foreign Service, making him the first black undergraduate in Georgetown history." (First Black Undergraduate Dies)

Article is new, plenty long enough, and hasn't been on the main page before. Images are public domain, and text is free of COPYVIO; it is also neutrally written, very well-sourced, and very interesting, as is the hook. Great article, great nomination, good to go.
