#TSRBlackExcellence—#PressPlay: It’s never too late to get your degree and 80-year-old Linwood Riddick proves just that! Over the weekend he graduated from #SouthCarolinaStateUniversity with a BA in Music. According to reporter billiejeantv Riddick put his college education on hold to serve in the military during the Vietnam war. He fulfilled his promise to walk across the stage before leaving this earth. The Vietnam Vet drove 45 minutes to attend classes every day! Congrats 👏🏽 #TSRHBCUuuuKnow 📹:(billiejeantv )✍🏾#TSRStaffAS
