This week, we hear Mia Lobel '97 in conversation with Honorable Terry J. Hatter, Jr. '54, a United States federal judge and one of the first black students to graduate from Wesleyan.
"I would take the station wagon in the middle of the night and drive to New York City...I would go listen to Latin Jazz at the Apollo theater— Tito Puente, Joe Loco. Get back in the car, get back on the Merritt Parkway, get back to the fraternity, —and start writing papers in the middle of the night, while the guys were asleep."
After receiving his BA from Wesleyan in 1954, Terry went on to receive his JD from the University of Chicago Law School, and was a US Air Force NCO-In-Charge. He went on to have an illustrious career in the law.
The Wesleyan Storytelling Project is produced by Mia Lobel ’97 and production intern Tess Altman ’17.
