Savannah State University, one of the oldest historically Black public universities in the United States, has unveiled a new landmark on campus called Legacy Lane — a dedicated space honoring more than 135 years of the institution’s rich history.
The unveiling marks a proud moment for the SSU community, giving students, alumni, faculty, and visitors a tangible tribute to the generations of scholars, leaders, and trailblazers who have walked the campus grounds since the university’s founding. Legacy Lane stands as a lasting reminder of the school’s enduring impact on Savannah, the state of Georgia, and beyond.
The milestone comes as a source of celebration not just for the university, but for the broader Savannah community, which has long counted Savannah State as a cornerstone institution. The new landmark is expected to serve as a gathering place and point of pride for current students and returning alumni for years to come.

The competition recognizes grocery associates for speed, technique, and customer service — a fun reminder that excellence shows up in all walks of community life.
From a historic university milestone to a hardworking neighbor earning well-deserved recognition, Savannah is finding plenty of reasons to celebrate this week.
