2013 Founder's Day Letter to Alumni.
This 110 anniversary is a celebration and commemoration of Dr. Joseph Winthrop Holley, the founder of the Albany Bible and Manual Training Institute now known as Albany State University. Dr. Holley was a black man with unique qualities. He did not dream, succumbing to those present day circumstances but embraced a vision to bring about a change for a better future. A better future has been realized by thousands who have come to and through these doors.
He was a visionary leader who obviously premised his actions on the biblical words of proverbs 29:18: "Where there is no vision the people perish." He was undoubtedly one of the leaders Robert F. Kennedy acknowledged when he wrote these words: "Some believe there is nothing one man or woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills - against misery, against ignorance, or injustice and violence. Yet many of the world's greatest movements of thought and action, have flowed from the work of a single man." Read More Here...
