“Nothing in my life was ever planned” The Life Story of Luther Harvey

Luther Harvey was born in rural Beaufort County in 1946. He has seen and experienced so much in his first 79 years. He says nothing in his life was planned, “it just sort of happened.” Harvey says his parents and a lot of other good Black folks“taught him right,” but the one thing that changed his life was Beaufort County Community College, and the guidance he received as a young Black man from one instructor, Tom Heath.
