StoryCorps: Dr. Lawrence Edward Carter, Sr. and Carolyn Daniel

Dr. Lawrence Edward Carter, Sr. is the founding dean of King Chapel at Morehouse College, and in the StoryCorps booth he talked with facilitator Carolyn Daniel about his long road to success. He began by telling about the time he first felt racial prejudice, which was during his childhood in the 1940’s in Dawson, Georgia.
