From authors to musicians, the Vanguard School hosted a number of exciting guests this week.

Continuing the school’s emphasis on African-American History, Dr. Richard Harris of Southeastern University spoke to the student body Friday about his time inside the Ku Klux Klan and his transformation from hate. “They lied to me,” he told students, referring to the KKK’s misinterpretation of the Bible and other documents. Harris told students to make good choices and decisions, and to avoid those who would use their abilities negatively. Harris is the author of the book One Nation Under Curse, and his appearance was also a part of the school’s continuing Vanguard Guest Writer Series.
