Note on Dr. Mallory from former Student:
"Dr. Mallory did a lot work for the C.O.G.I.C. Saints Jr. Elementary and High school taught me so much, teaching Negro History before most of us knew we had a history, because of her I have pride in! myself and who I am, we were taught how to walk, talk and good citizenship. With my Saints Jr. education I became a Department Manager in one of America's largest bank."
