The first Black student to attend Luther College was Asibong Okon of Nigeria. He attended Luther College from 1951 to 1954 and graduated with majors in history and economics. However, it was not until 1964 that Luther College established an exchange program with traditionally Black institutions such as Philander Smith, Little Rock, Spelman and Fisk University.
