WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) today expressed condolences to the family of Brooklyn T. McMillon, a dedicated and long-serving employee of North Carolina Central University (NCCU). A two-time alumnus of NCCU, McMillon served the university for more than 60 years as an instructor, director, registrar, historian, and as chair of health education.
Butterfield released the following statement regarding McMillon’s death:
“I am saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Brooklyn McMillon. I fondly remember him as the University Registrar when I was a student at North Carolina Central University. Mr. McMillon was a giant who dedicated his life to enriching the University and the Durham community. Even after his retirement, McMillon volunteered at NCCU as an archivist, ensuring the preservation of the school’s rich history. The NCCU community has lost a real treasure. I offer my deepest sympathies to his family during their time of grief.”
