To the Scott and Ferguson Family-In sympathy to you during your loss of Dr. Ferguson who gave the greatest gift as she was an example at both North Carolina Central University and the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People. Also, Dr. Ferguson was a pioneer Civil Rights activist who helped to desegregate much of Durham while being humble about her participation in the movement. Thankful are we for helping to usher in a better day for generations to come.

Dr Ferguson was an awesome educator. I had her for 2 years while attending NCCU. I will never forget how she would have closed door sessions, being that mother figure, making sure we were all employed upon graduation, her generosity in purchasing bonds to our graduating class, and staying connected with us when she was able. To the family my deepest condolences. May God grant you peace during this time.

Purple is the symbol of royalty. I remember our years on Uzzle Street as neighbors. Many times our back doors opened and closed for the same little people. No matter the time or situation, you always displayed that symbol of royalty, that sereness, that self-confidence, that special love for your family. You will be missed Courtney. So glad I was able to be a passenger and have a seat alongside of you when you were on The Train of Life. Diann Griffin-Winston
