Judy Gentry
Description
The Student Senate appointed freshman Judy Gentry to the Homecoming Court to ensure diverse representation. The Judiciary denied the appointment because Gentry was not voted in. As a compromise, Gentry was added as a “special added feature of the 1972 Homecoming activities.” Gentry was the first African-American woman on any court at Appalachian State.
