Linnie Liggins (left) reacts to finally receiving the University of Mississippi diploma she earned 50 years after completing her coursework. Provost Noel Wilkin apologized earlier in the day that the university neglected to recognize her accomplishments for so long and said he was ready to present her diploma whenever she was ready, on her terms.
