BRO. L CLIFFORD DAVIS

Davis was born in Wilton. Since the town's educational opportunities for black students ended in the eight grade, Clifton attended high school at Dunbar High School in Little Rock. He graduated from Philander Smith College in 1945. The state paid tuition for Davis to attend a school out of state to avoid having him in a classroom with white students, but when Davis realized the higher cost of living at Howard University in Washington, D.C. far outweighed the cost of tuition, he insisted on applying to U of A.
