“This picture is the largest group of African American students to ever graduate from Samuel Merritt University with Bachelor of Science degrees in Nursing. Tears, sacrifice, long days and nights, and one solid friendship pact got them here. One student drove five hours a day to get to and from classes. Thank you Mary Eliza Mahoney for blazing the pathway.”
