Arminta Foushee - On her family's college attendance (clip)

Interviewed by Kathryn Wall on June 23, 2022

Kathryn Wall (KW): Did you go to college in DC, then?

Arminta Foushee (AF): No, I actually went, I’m a proud Aggie, I’m a North Carolina A&T State University Aggie, the number one HBCU in the country. No, my husband actually did. He went to Howard University, and my former husband went to Lincoln University, another very nice HBCU, then Christian broke the tradition.

KW: And where did he go?

AF: Berkeley College of Music in Boston. I tried, but that was a good fit for him.

KW: Yeah, for what he does that’s a wonderful school.

AF: Yeah, the only reason I went with it, I was like OK. And it was kind of difficult to get in, but he did and he loved it, so it fit his agenda for his career path.
