Delaware State University is paying tribute to Captain Larry Potts during Black History Month, honoring a distinguished alumnus who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country.
Captain Potts holds a somber place in Delaware State University history as the sole graduate from the institution to die while serving in the Vietnam War. His story represents both the contributions of African American servicemen during the conflict and the personal cost paid by the DSU community.
The university’s recognition of Captain Potts comes as part of their ongoing Black History Month programming, which highlights the achievements and sacrifices of African American individuals connected to the Dover-based institution.
Delaware State University continues to honor the memory of alumni who served their nation, with Captain Potts’ legacy serving as a reminder of the price of freedom and the courage displayed by those who answered their country’s call to duty.
