"My Great Great Uncle William A. Saunders, was President of Storer at one time, and my Mother Elsie S.Dodson, and my Father Samuel H. Dodson,Jr. attended Storer College."

"The history of the Storer college in its days and the Niagara movement is well presented in the museum"
"If you want to find out the history of education progress in the USA then you must visit this small museum. The exhibit is very informative about the foundation of the college that provided education regardless of race or sex. Unfortunately its demise resulted from another advance in education: Brown v Board of Eduction. Additionally at this museum is a short history of the Niagara Movement with some terrific photographs. Included is also info about the founding of the NAACP."
