South Carolina State College was established in 1896 by the state legislature to provide educational opportunities to African Americans. The college is situated on land acquired by the state from the United Methodist Church in 1869.

Thomas E. Miller was named the first President. Faced with many challenges and struggles, Miller and his wife, Anna, did an excellent job of moving the college forward and building a foundation for her later growth and development. Since that time, thirteen presidents and five interims have continued to build upon Miller's legacy. Although much is written about the presidents, very little has been written about their spouses who aided them in furthering the university. This book features twelve dynamic, smart, and innovative first ladies who demonstrated through their untiring support, Mr. President, I've Got Your Back!
