Susie And Julius Love Character Analysis
Its very evident from the achievements and progression of their offspring, Susie H. Carr and Julius C. Love were determined in their quest to produce African American children of substance. Most notably, Susie and Julius Love gave birth the Most Honorable But Now Deceased Bishop Edgar Amos Love, but as well to their youngest son, John Wesley Love.
Like his brothers (Julius, Edgar, & William), John too attended Howard University. During his matriculation at Howard, John made a point to leave behind a lasting impression.
