When Dr. Lassiter Wright, Jr. was a DCCCD chancellor, I had an opportunity to meet with him twice in his office. During our conversation, Dr. Wright kindly agreed to write a foreword for my book of poetry entitled "Hidden Facts." Dr. Wright also encouraged and inspired me to organize a book signing event at North Lake College on February 3, 2009, featured on "The Dallas Morning News."

Dr. Wright L. Lassiter, Jr. will always be someone I fondly remember and greatly appreciate. He was my president at El Centro College, and I was honored to know him and serve on his leadership team.

Rest in peace and well done, dear man. God bless and thank you for sharing your...

I will never forget the deposits gained while in his many leadership classes at church. He will, however; be remembered most for the wisdom, counsel and authority demonstrated during a critical junction in my life. God

I shall never forget his love for what is just. PRAYING FOR FAMILY
