WHEN DR. EDWARD JACKSON WAS CHANCELLOR OF SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY OF BATON ROUGE HE DECIDED TO CHANGE THE COLORS OF THE GRADUATION CAPS AND GOWNS FROM BLACK TO COLUMBIA BLUE BECAUSE HE STATED IT WAS AN OLD TRADITION TO GRADUATE IN SCHOOL COLORS.

IF YOU WANT THE COLOR OF THE CAP AND GOWNS TO CHANGE SIGN THE PETITION
