The PA History Society is sad to announce the passing of Rev. Wendell Wharton, Jr. on August 18th. Rev. Wharton was a founding memeber of the PA History Society and a former editor of our newsletter. He was the first African American to be an AAPA House officer, a founder and the first president of the African Heritage Caucus, and a PA educator who touched the lives of countless students.
