Description
An account of the resource
George Graham is a member of The Citadel’s Class of 1973. In this interview, conducted by Tessa Updike, Mr. Graham talks about how he came to join the Corps of Cadets in 1969. Mr. Graham describes two encounters he had with Charles Foster, The Citadel’s first African American cadet, when he was a freshman and Foster was a senior. Mr. Graham says that Foster told him that “Quitting is out of the question,” and gave him advice on how to handle the isolation he was feeling as a cadet.<br /><br />Mr. Graham briefly describes his own cadet experience, including an experience as a freshman when upperclassmen hung ropes in his room that frightened and intimidated him. Mr. Graham reflects on how Charles Foster must have felt his freshman year, as the only African American cadet on campus, saying, “Charlie had to go through pure hell. The isolation is probably the big thing, because you’re isolated so much as an African American.” Graham also talks about why it is important that we remember Charles Foster today.

Herbert Legare is a member of The Citadel’s Class of 1973. In this interview, conducted by Tessa Updike, Mr. Legare describes how he came to join the Corps of Cadets, and his experience as a cadet. Mr. Legare reflects on how Charles Foster, The Citadel’s first African American cadet, must have felt his freshman year, as the only black cadet on campus. “Charlie was by himself in a totally different culture. So just being by yourself, and the feelings and emotions he had to internalize, that he couldn’t share with anybody, that was pretty hard. That was really hard, not just pretty hard.”
Mr. Legare calls Charles Foster a “Trailblazer,” and says, “We can always point to Charlie and say, you know, ’Charlie did it’, and he was the first. So how can we quit?”

An account of the resource
Dr. Larry Ferguson is a member of The Citadel’s Class of 1973. In this interview, conducted by Tessa Updike, Dr. Ferguson talks about how he came to join the Corps of Cadets. He describes an experience he had with Charles Foster in the spring of 1970, when he was a freshman and Foster was a senior. Dr. Ferguson says that Foster told him, “They tried to break me down. Just promise me, you’ll never let them break you.” Dr. Ferguson describes how Foster appeared different at The Citadel than he did when they attended C.A. Brown High School together, saying that Foster had become very reserved at The Citadel.
Dr. Ferguson reflects on how Charles Foster must have felt his freshman year, when he was the only African American in the Corps. He says that Foster knew the importance of the position he had at The Citadel, being part of a generation that was helping to change the South, and America. Dr. Ferguson said he is sure Foster felt isolated in the Corps, but had the strength to continue on. He also talks about why it is important that we remember Charles Foster today, calling Foster “A true American hero, and a hero of Charleston.”
