"My mom was one of the biggest Education Fans that I have ever known personally. She always had a ton of books by her bedside, and
believed in the importance of continual learning. This love of learning was successfully passed on to her from her father, Eddie B. Gilliam.
He was an ex-sharecropper who successfully launched his own farm while supporting all 9 of his children to graduate from high school.
My mom pictured above was the eldest child and graduated high school class valedictorian. She later became a student at HBCU Virginia
Union before she stopped to marry and raise a family. She ultimately returned to school and completed her degree in nursing while I was
in elementary school. She lived a very fruitful life and was an excellent role model for me. Her younger brother, Joe, would go on to become
the family's 1st HBCU alumn when he graduated with his degree from Virginia State University. My sister graduated from Hampton
University in 1970 and my brother Bernie followed in my uncle's footsteps upon graduation from Virginia State University in 1975. Uncle
Joe, my mom, Bernie, my cousin Angie and I are pictured below. Our family tradition lives on! I vow to commit my time, talent and energy to
encourage others to promote education in the eternal HBCU spirit. You see, just like sports fans are not just athletes, an Education Fan is
not limited to being someone who completes a college degree.
Education Fans enthusiastically inspire, support or cheer on others who strive to learn life's important lessons."
