At East Chicago's Washington High School, Comer earned top grades, sang in the chorus. and during his senior year served as president of the student body. In an interview with the Washington Post Comer stated, "For me, an African-American senior in 1951 in a predominantly white high school, the injustice I was most concerned about was racial prejudice. We had made progress in that I was the first head of the more than two-thirds White student council; we eliminated school dances when we could not integrate them; and we voted to eliminate segregated swim classes -- although over the summer school officials sidestepped the problem by turning the pool into a gymnasium." [1]
Although neither of his parents completed a formal education, they both wanted their children to be educated. [2] Comer attributes his family's academic and professional success to his parent's involvement in "traditional black culture": the church and an ability to learn even from menial jobs." [3] All five children graduated from college, earning 13 degrees collectively. [4]
