Cleopatra Love attended Ballard, and is listed by them as having “joined the Exodus” and emigrated
North. There she attended New York University. She is cited in Titus Brown’s Faithful, Firm and
True: African American Education in the South (Mercer University Press, 2002). Many of the
South’s best emigrated North after WWI, and the so-called “Red Summer.”
