Dr. Kenneth B. Prewitt, 64, is the only child of Moses and Lena Prewitt. He was 8 years old when I first met him in August 1970. Kenneth is like a son to me. Here is why:

Moses Prewitt is the former director of Alumni Affairs at Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He was one of my two best friends when I desegregated the University of Alabama’s law school from 1970-73. Capt. James Paul (USAF) was my other best friend. The three of us covered each other’s back and safeguarded each other’s family on UA's campus.

Moses, Capt. Paul, and I lived together with our wives in Rose Towers residential apartments on campus. Mose and Capt. Paul had one child each. DeAndra and I did not have Donald, Jr., until June 1972.

We leaned on each other daily as a source of strength to get through the thick, nasty, and undiluted white racism on campus.

Dr. Lena Prewitt was the first African American female professor hired by the University. She taught classes in the College of Business and was known as “brainpower on steroids.” Lena's positive impact on campus was phenomenal and she was as source of inspiration for all of us.

Moses died on February 15, 2010, at 75. Lena died on February 14, 2024, at age 92. Capt. James Paul died on November 25, 2025, at age 80.

A Bond for Life

I stayed in touch with Kenneth Prewitt throughout the years, especially after he retired from the Army and began his private sector career in the commercial application of drone technology.

Today, Kenneth is the owner and CEO of Serendipity Grove, LLC, a specialty agriculture venture located on 50 acres of California’s Central Coast and focused on the phased development of a premium estate production system centered on olive oil and saffron.

Kenneth completed his PhD requirements in the Management of Complex Systems from the University of California at Merced in December 2025. He was awarded his PhD degree in the May 15, 2026, Commencement Service.

Dr. Kenneth B. Prewitt received his PhD in Management of Complex Systems from the University of California at Merced on May 15, 2026.

Kenneth earned his MS in Operations in Project Management with a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt awarded in October 2018. He concentrated his graduate studies in Unmanned Aerial Systems/Unmanned Ariel Vehicles and their application and integration for emergency services and agriculture use through a partnership with Drone for Hire.

After obtaining an undergraduate degree from the University of Alabama in 1987, Kenneth served as an officer in the U.S. Army for 23 years. He rose through the ranks from a Lieutenant to a Lt. Colonel. Kenneth served as a unit commander for numerous intelligence gathering, analysis, and security operations. In this capacity, he oversaw the development and execution of the first operational use of a PREDATOR drone for the Army's Counter Narcotic mission in Afghanistan.

Kenneth also served as the Acting Senior Counterintelligence Officer (ASCIO) at Northrop Grumman Corporation between 2010 and 2012.

I am extremely proud of Dr. Kenneth B. Prewitt and the way he has represented Moses and Lena Prewitt, his wife Vicki and sons Matthew and Joshua, the African American community, and America.
