B.B. King received an hon
orary doctorate of humani
ties degree from Mississippi's
Tougaloo College on Sunday,
September 30, during the
famed 104-year-old Black col
lege's annual Founder's Day
observance, thus making him
the first blues musician ever
to receive an honorary doc
torate for his contribution to
the world of music.
The degree was conferred
upon the ABC/Dunhill re
cording artist by Tougaloo
C ollege’s president, Dr.
George A. Owens, a native
Mississippian and the first
alumnus to head the college.
In observing that one of
B.B. King's top selling re
cordings. "Indianola Missis
sippi Seeds", which pays tri
bute to his birthplace, won a
1971 Grammy Award for
best album cover, Dr. Owens
pointed out that B.B. King
joins other well known Mis-
sissippians that Tougaloo has
honored with doctorates.
They are Doctors Fannie Lou
Hamer, noted civil rights
activist; Charles Evers, may
or of Fayette, Mississippi; Dr.
T.S. Sanders, noted educator:
and Dr. Walter Washington,
president, Alcorn A&M Col
lege, Alcorn, M ississippi,

Bus riding will be cheaper
for Tri Met’s Honored Citi
zens beginning today, Thurs
day, October 4.
It's part of a new law by
the Oregon legislature, im
plemented by the Tri-Met
bus system, designed to re
duce or eliminate transporta
tion costs for the 65 and
older and legally handicapped
and to encourage these Hon
ored Citizens to avoid riding
during peak hours when
buses are crowded with com
muters.
As a result, Honored Citi
zens (those with Honored
Citizens cards issued by Tri-
Met and the Oregon Com
mission for the Blind, or
mini semester course intro
duced and taught by Miss
Lou Holloway, chairman of
Tougaloo's history depart
ment.
The idea of the course,
entitled "Nina Simone, Isaac
Hayes, Ray Charles and B.B.
King," Miss Holloway ex
plains, was to get her stu
dents "to dissect the lyrics of
these great artistis, analyze
them as they would any
other historical docum ent,
and thus pull forth revealing
messages relating to the
Black experience."
The course was so success
ful that it lead Miss Holloway
to propose B.B. King's name
to the Committee on Hon
orary Degrees. In addition,
Miss Holloway, currently on
leave from Tougaloo, is de
veloping a course entitled
“B.B. King, Blues and the
Black Heritage," which she
will teach at Williams Col
lege (Williamstown, Massa
chusetts) where she is visit
ing lecturer in history.
A year ago (June, 1972)
Governor Bill Waller declared
“B.B. King Day” in Missis
sippi when the “King of the
Blues" gave a free concert at
the state penitentiary at
Parchman, one of the more
than 25 that he has given ir
prisons across the country.
On June 12. 1973. B.B.
King was co host with Mayor
Charles Evers of a gigantic
"M ississippi Homecoming"
memorial festival for the
mayor’s brother, slain civil
rights leader Medgar Evers.
