Savannah State University marked a proud milestone this week with the unveiling of Legacy Lane, a new landmark on campus that honors more than 135 years of the university’s rich history.

The dedication, reported by WSAV-TV on Thursday, June 18, reflects the institution’s deep commitment to celebrating its heritage and the generations of students, faculty, and alumni who have shaped one of the nation’s oldest historically Black public universities.

Legacy Lane serves as a lasting tribute to the trailblazers and community members who have contributed to Savannah State’s enduring legacy — a fitting honor for a university that has stood as a cornerstone of education and opportunity in Savannah for well over a century.

The unveiling adds to a week of community celebration in the Hostess City, as Savannahians came together to reflect on history, honor freedom, and look ahead with pride.
