Dr. Spencer was my favorite professor et at Emory University (1977). She is a very enthusiastic professor and researcher, and a beautiful person. I am so happy to see that she remains passionate in her research and solutions to issues of race, education, opportunity, privelege, vulnerability, and access to healthcare. Dr. Spencer, you are brilliant and I hope the world is listening to you.  I will always love you, and revere my time in your classroom, and at the typewriter.
