Wednesday, December 16, 2009 will be a memorable day in the life of the Hathaway Family. After a long academic journey, Alvin Jr. will be sworn into the Maryland Bar as an attorney licensed to practice in the State of Maryland. The Honorable Robert M. Bell, Chief Judge of the Court of Special Appeals will administer the oath. Judge Robert Bell was the person who encouraged Alvin Jr. to enroll in a double Master of Business Administration and Juris Doctor program at West Virginia University School of Law and the School of Business.
His grandfather, Mr. Charles A. Hathaway will be one of the persons who will be beaming with pride - he will witness his grandson stepping into Maryland history. While I will exhibit the pride of a father. My wife, his mother, will be overjoyed. His sister will be excited.
This family honor makes me more determined to fight all forces that would limit opportunities for children within our community to reach their full potential. I am particularly concerned about urban elementary and middle schools that are failing our youth at every turn. Within the Upton Community of West Baltimore change is going to come - So Help Me God!
