The African American Male Mentoring Program of Voorhees College sponsored the college Assembly on September 1, 2011 in the Massachusetts Hall Lawrence Memorial Auditorium.
Voorhees College was honored to have the first set of triplet attorney in American to speak and share their struggles and achievement as black men.
The Martin triplets; Deshun Terrell, Kenya Reese and Warren Louis were born a set of triplets, and they followed in the footsteps of the oldest brother Precious in becoming attorneys.
The triplets graduated from Jackson State University, where they earned their Bachelor of Arts degree in political science.
Both Warren and Kenya graduated with a grade point average of a 4.0 and Deshun finished with a 3.95 in course work.
In May of 2004, the Martins become the first set of triplets to graduate from the University Of Mississippi School Of Law.
They were sworn in 2004 as the first set of triplet attorneys in America.
They brother has made guest appearance on the Montel and Oparah show.
The triplet wasn’t feed from a golden spoon growing up, in fact some time they went without lights and food to eat.
However, they knew they had to make something of themselves to bring their family out of poverty.
The Martin triplets talked about how their mother played both parent roles, and how she kept them at; church, home, and school.
During their presentation, it showed that they all were God fearing men and that God was the head of their life.
They also shared the keys to success.
Kenya stated that the three keys to success are; acknowledge God, remain in school and love and respect yourselves.
Warren stated that the key to success is reading.
Kenya informed the audience that education starts in the womb.
And Warren followed by stating that, “There is a different in being graduated and educated”
Yet, the exploration of the presentation was when Kenya recited parts of the Mountain Top speech by Martin Luther King Jr.
