    Charles Kendrick

    Take a Walk in His Shoes

    Mr. Charles Kendrick, of Tucson, has his own museum and he still has his shoe shine kit from when he was a child over 80 years ago growing up in Texas.

    Mr. Kendrick curated his own personal collection here in Tucson and made history as the first African American graduate from the University of Arizona’s College of Pharmacy. He journeyed from Texas to Tucson on a segregated train, marking the beginning of a trailblazing path in his profession.
