An archival black-and-white photograph shows a group of people seated on steps outside Rutledge College, dressed in period-specific attire. A circular inset highlights Celia Dial Saxon, then a student ant the Normal School of South Carolina. A small logo in the bottom-right corner displays "USC 225." The mood is formal and historical.
Named in 2022, Celia Dial Saxon Hall is the first campus building named for a Black man or woman.
It honors Celia Dial Saxon, a pioneering educator who uplifted South Carolina students after attending the Normal School of SC when it was located in Rutledge College during Reconstruction. #USC225
