In honor of Zella Powell and Ona Norton

Zella Powell is believed to be EIU's first Black graduate, earning a degree from Eastern State Normal School in 1910. Ona Norton was the matriarch of a cherished Black family in Charleston, IL. in the 1950's, in a time when it was difficult for students of color to find off-campus housing in Charleston.
