Skull & Bones

Another of those things about Yale that I didn't know when I worked there:





FIRST BLACK MAN ADMITTED INTO SKULL & BONES
(SECRET SOCIETY)

Born in Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, he moved to the United States to study and later became a U.S. citizen. He attended Yale University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in sociology. While there he befriended future President George W. Bush and both were inducted to the secret society Skull and Bones. He earned an Master of Arts and Ph.D in sociology from the University of Washington.
