Two years later Garland tendered his resignation to the board of trustees, but they kept it in abeyance until 1893 when the board named as chancellor James H. Kirkland. James H. Kirkland, just 34 years old when he became chancellor, hailed from South Carolina. The son of an itinerant Methodist preacher, he attended Wofford College then received his Ph.D. at the University of Leipzig. With the help of colleagues he met during his German studies, he landed a job teaching Latin at Vanderbilt in 1886.

N’Neka’s success was not just limited to her professional life. She had a close circle of friends and colleagues who loved and respected her. N’Neka was inspired by her mother’s kindness and generosity toward others, she carried that Legacy in her own life. Her dedication to her family and her role as “Aunt N’Neka/Auntie N’Neka” speaks to her nurturing personality and the positive impact on her nieces and nephews. He was also involved with movements such as- Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM), Republic of New Afrika. Tupac Shakur Aunts & Uncles Aunt In 1910 open warfare broke out between the Vanderbilt administration and the Methodist church. The bishops opposed Kirkland's attempt to swap some land with Peabody College. Kirkland, in turn, opposed the bishops when they pushed to retain the right to name members of the Vanderbilt board. The campus strongly supported the chancellor. Finally, in 1914, the Tennessee Supreme Court ruled against the bishops and the university's separation from the church was complete. Some 1,000 students, with Chancellor Kirkland leading them, marched in celebration through downtown Nashville.

Sekyiwa made headlines when she was spotted at the protest for George Floyd in 2020, who was another man killed by excessive police force. She spoke to thousands who gathered to honor his memory and use his untimely passing as a vehicle to voice their discontent with the complacency of our political figures in allowing these incidents to continue.

GodfatherGarland had definite ideas about the rules that would govern the university's place in this world. Under Garland's plan, Vanderbilt would have four departments: Biblical Studies and Literature, Science and Philosophy, Law, and Medical. Though Bishop McTyeire usually was there looking over his shoulder, Chancellor Garland clearly set the mood of the campus. [2] Steeped in Scottish moral philosophy, he believed that the development of character was the central purpose of a true university. [5] He did his part to mold character each Wednesday when he preached sermons to the student body in chapel, and he was staunch in his opposition to dormitories, claiming they were "injurious to both morals and manners." Landon Garland was an apologist for slavery in the United States before the Civil War, but afterward became a vociferous spokesperson against slavery. Garland was a proud Virginian and as a college president, he held true to the values he learned at Hampden-Sydney.

Landon Garland was born in 1941. Landon Garland is the son of Billy Garland and his half-brother, TupacShakur’s father. My dad has strong genes. Sometimes we have family cookouts and we’re looking at my brother and it’s like seeing him. I flip out sometimes because if Tupac could have been here and seen my whole family, he would have flipped out to see how everyone looks just like him. It’s crazy.

After a year of trying to rebuild the university, Garland's dream of making it an institution of discipline and honor (a central theme of the historical south) died along with the Confederacy. Only a single student enrolled for classes in 1866; Garland resigned and accepted the chair of philosophy and astronomy at the University of Mississippi in 1867. There, Methodist Bishop Holland Nimmons McTyeire (1824–1889) sought out his former teacher and enlisted him in the campaign to build a Methodist university in Nashville, Tennessee. Garland, a highly respected academic in Southern education and in Methodism, wrote essay after essay in church publications on the need for an "educated ministry". With Garland on board, the bishop now needed the money, and for that he turned to Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt. Garland became chancellor of Vanderbilt University in 1875. Douglas Gregory Garland: The other brother of Tupac’s father Billy Garland Tupac Shakur Grandparents My brother Landon is in Florida. I believe he works a very regular job with the cable. My brother Malik is an electrician. He’s in Jersey. My brother Billy is in Florida as well. He actually was incarcerated, but got out recently. He went to school to be a dental technician, I believe. My sister N’Neka, she lives in California. She’s my older sister. She actually looks like Tupac a lot and works for ABC, one of the soap operas. My brother Billy, he’s a spitting image [of Tupac] and his personality. Landon is also a spitting image, but you got to give it to Billy because of his mannerisms and everything. It’s crazy sometimes being around him. One of the biggest challenges Kirkland faced in his tenure occurred at 11 a.m. on April 20, 1905. Fire broke out in Old Main, the heart and soul of Vanderbilt life. Throughout the afternoon, while the fire raged, students threw books out the windows. Students waiting below caught the books and carried them to a safe place. Before the fire finally gutted most of the building, students had saved 4,000 books; another 18,000 books burned.A joint-degree recipient in law and education from Columbia University, Gee completed a federal judicial clerkship, after which he served as an assistant dean for the University of Utah College of Law. After holding this position, Gee served as a judicial fellow and senior staff assistant for U. S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger. He then became associate dean and professor at J. Reuben Clark Law School of Brigham Young University and next served as dean of law at West Virginia University. It was at West Virginia University that he made the transition from law school administrator to university president. Tupac suffered his fair share of physical violence thanks to gang affiliations and as part of the inevitable result of the rivalry between east and west coast music. Before his fatal encounter with still-unidentified gunmen on September 7, 1996, in Las Vegas, he was shot five times in the lobby of a New York recording studio.
