In 1873, he again made history when he became the first black faculty member at USC, a position he held until 1877 when the S.C. legislature closed the university to blacks. HIRED AS a professor of mental and moral philosophy and logic, Greener also taught Latin, Greek, mathematics and constitutional history, and served as librarian for a time. In 1876 he was one of nine students to complete a degree in law at the university, a move that shaped his future career. In 1877, Greener went to Howard University as an instructor and later dean of the school's law department.
