Dr. LeJeune Hickson McDonald, Class of 1960 Alumna

Dr. Carmen LeJeune Hickson McDonald was born October 10, 1943, in Augusta, Georgia to the late Rev. & Mrs. Cyrus Wesley Hickson, Sr. LeJeune was a student at Haines Institute from kindergarten to the beginning of her second-grade year when the school closed in 1949. She completed her school training with a diploma from Lucy Craft Laney High School in 1960. After graduation, she attended Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia and was an active participant in the civil rights movement under the leadership of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Additionally, she devoted herself to volunteer work with duties at the office of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. Dr. Hickson earned a Bachelor's of Arts degree from Spelman College in 1964, a Master's degree from Atlanta University in 1969, and a Doctoral of Education from the University of South Carolina in 1977.

 

Most of Dr. Hickson‘s employment has been at the higher education level. She taught at Paine College in Augusta, Georgia and became so fascinated with the study of Black English that she accepted the opportunity to explore the topic at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia for six weeks. She was an Assistant Professor at Prairie View A&M University. She became an Associate Professor and Acting Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs while employed at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. While at Pine Bluff, Dr. Hickson became certified to evaluate college level teacher education programs through training at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. Her final employment in higher education was at Voorhees University in Denmark, South Carolina where she served as Vice-President.

 

Dr. Hickson’s public school teaching includes Aiken County, Richmond County where she was honored as “Teacher of the Year” at T. W. Josey High School, Columbia County, and Mannheim, Germany where she established a program for gifted children. Dr. Hickson served as Coordinator for Testing for the Richmond County Board of Education and later as Principal of the Evening School.

 

An active worker in the community, Dr. Hickson served on the commission to consolidate Augusta and Richmond County. In 1987, she authored a children’s coloring book entitled “Having So Little, Giving So Much” on the life of Lucy Craft Laney. In 1991, Dr. Hickson wrote a play on the life of Dr. Justine Washington entitled “Show Me What You’ve Done.” The play was presented at the Imperial Theater and was directed by the late Mr. J. C. Taylor of Paine College. In 2016, Dr. Hickson made a 30 minute documentary video on the life of Lucy Craft Laney which is currently available on YouTube.com.

 

Dr. Hickson is a member of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, in Augusta, GA. She has written and directed many Christmas and Easter plays for the church as Head of the Drama Department. Dr. Hickson initiated the Augusta Chapter of the National Alumnae Association of Spelman College. She is a member of the Augusta Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. She established a poetry reading contest for elementary and high school students, in Richmond County and served on the National Arts and Letters Committee for the sorority. Dr. Hickson has lifetime memberships in the National Alumnae Association of Spelman College, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and the Richmond County Retired Educators Association. She has served as President of the Board of Trustees for Haines Alumni Association and is a former member of the Lucy Craft Laney Alumni Association Board of Directors.

 

With an avid curiosity about African American history, Dr. Hickson writes two snippets per week on crucial people and events in African American history. These snippets are emailed to more than 110 recipients.

 

Dr. Hickson is married to Walter McDonald, Jr. and has two children, Ingrid Ellison, MD, and Cyrus Ellison, Esq. She takes unbound pride in her four grandchildren: Cyrus Wesley Ellison, Troi Danielle McClure, Elise LeJeune Ellison, and Ethan John Ellison.
