Professor Mel Brown A Great Mentor and Teacher

Long Time Faculty, Mentor and Language Arts Department Chair, Professor Mel Brown passed away Sunday, March 27 2005 in Bakersfield, CA.
Professor Brown was a dedicated instructor in the Language Arts Dept. at Trade Technical College.
Before he retired in 1998, he was a mentor to many and had a unique way of teaching that had proven results. Brown was also a champion for student’s rights and fought for equality both in and out the classrooms. He also fought for the union in behalf of instructors for full time and hourly for fair wages and health benefits.
In behalf of all LATTC Student Body, Faculty staff, and Alumni, our deepest sympathies to his family.

SO THAT YOU KNOW ... MEL BROWN WAS SMART, GUTSY, FAIR, WITTY, AND HONEST! HE WAS 'STAND-UP', AND A GREAT WRITER WITH A KNACK FOR THE PUNGENT AND PROFOUND! ONCE WHEN THE 'BLACK FACULTY ASSOCIATION' WAS MEETING, A CAUCASIAN INSTRUCTOR SAID HE WANTED TO JOIN. MEL BROWN SAID 'SURE, WHY NOT', GAVE A LITTLE CHUCKLE, AND WELCOMED THE NEW MEMBER!

THE CAUCASIAN INSRUCTOR HAD THE SAME GOALS AS THE BLACK MEMBERS. COLOR BECAME IRRELEVANT WHEN FACED WITH COLLEGIALITY, FRIENDSHIP, AND RESPECT. SOME DAY WE WILL GO BACK TO THAT. JOSEPH AUCIELLO. PROF. A. OUT.
