Playing Golf Near Air Force One for Tougaloo College







Environment Man played golf at Andrews Air Force Base, which is where Air Force One is maintained. Andrews has 3 courses and EM played on the South Course at the Fifth Annual Golf Classic for Tougaloo College. It was a great golfing experience for a great college.

Known as "The Cradle of the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi," Tougaloo College is led by its first female and 13th president, Dr. Beveer Wade Hogan, a 1973 graduate of Tougaloo College and a native mississippian.
