Charles P. Adams

Charles Philip Adams, a Brusly native and Tuskegee Institute graduate, followed Booker T. Washington’s advice to travel to North Louisiana to develop a school. On November 1, 1901, he founded and opened the school in Lincoln Parish that in 1974 became known as Grambling State University. Adams maintained his residence at the school until his death, returning to Brusly only for visits.
