Dr. Eric Summers, Vice President of Southeastern Louisiana University, Sr. McClellan's former alma mater, will present her with a virtual Honor of Excellence. This recognition is particularly special because Barbara Hammond-McClellan was one of the first students to integrate into the university back in 1962 when she was just 18 years old.

She enrolled into Southeastern University, where her major was to become A Home Economics Teacher

 

She was a Sophomore at Southeastern University Louisiana in 1965, and due to experiencing severe racism, she decided to relocate to Oakland. CA to live with her older sister Ada Mae Ward.

 

Barbara, being multi-talented soon joined a traveling singing group under the leadership of both Wilma Chapman and Ida Coleman-Williams in 1966. Her director Wilma Chapman has these kind words to say, "I will always treasure your unwavering support for our singing group, The Carnettes, and the many unforgettable trips we shared for our singing engagements. Those moments were a testament to your incredible heart and dedication." - Wlma Chapman 

 

She Married, Edward L. Harvey Sr and gave birth to two children Eleanor and Eddie L. Harvey

 

She was and remains her children's and grandchildren's 1st teacher and role model.

 

She Married the Love of her Life, Everett (RUSTY) McClellan, in April of 1993...and they lived Happily Ever After!

 

 

From the combination of this union, many children, spouses, and grandchildren were formed.
