Title A name given to the resource Local (Michigan) Description An account of the resource Local role models provide us with people to look to as we aspire to fulfill our dreams. Sometimes, they might inspire us to achieve goals that we had never thought could be accomplished. The local collection honors those women in Michigan who dared to be different. Some of these women integrated male-dominated fields, like firefighting, while others dared to change law, lead businesses, forward higher education, or fight for social justice. These women help shape our dreams and give Michiganians someone local to provide inspiration. Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 1905 Birthplace Blanchard, Michigan, USA Death Date 1996 Occupation Scholar and diplomat Biographical Text Born in Blanchard, Michigan, Merze Tate moved from home at the age of 15 and worked as a domestic servant to attend and graduate from high school in 1922. An excellent student, she was the first African American to win the Hinman Oratorical Contest (1921) for her speech, The Negro in the World War. A quote from the speech gives insight into race relations in early 20th century America, "Over two million blacks from Africa, Asia, and America fought for democracy [in that conflict]. Many fought like tigers and became heroes. Whole regiments were decorated for bravery. They died with honor, but they still gained little reward for their service. I plead with this audience and the rest of America to give the Negro race proper recognition. Please forget the differences between white and colored. Respect the Negro's good qualities." (Bernard-Hollins, Michigan History, November/December 2014, p. 36) After saving money for tuition, Tate graduated from Kalamazoo's Western State Normal School (1927), but due to her race she could not find a teaching job in Michigan. She ended up teaching at a segregated school in Indianapolis. During summers, she earned a Master's degree from Columbia University's Teachers Colllege. With funds from a scholarship, Tate then moved to England (1931) and attended Oxford University. By this time, Tate spoke five languages and was fluent in German. She attended classes at the University of Berlin for a while, but left Germany when Hitler became president (she had heard him speak before and was concerned with his sentiments). She returned to England and was the first African American to graduate from Oxford University (Bachelor's degree in Social Studies, 1935). After returning to the States, Tate earned a Ph.D. in Political Sceince from Radcliffe College (1941); she was the first black female to earn that degree. Tate worked in varioius positions in academia throughout her doctoral program. During that time, she wrote two academically acclaimed books, The Disarmament Illusion: The Movement for a Limitation of Armaments to 1907 (New York:MacMillan ad Co., 1942) and The United States and Armaments (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1948). In 1948, she was one of three Americans who represented America at the United Nations' Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization. As a result of a Fulbright Scholarship in 1950, she became a traveling scholar in international affairs. A prolific writer, the U.S. State Department commissioned her to write travelogues of the places that she visited. Tate won many awards for her scholarship and published many books and dozens of articles. She used her personal experiences in diplomacy to teach students about foreign affairs. Tate died in 1996 and was buried in her home town. Her legacy speaks to the power of education as a passport to success. Bibliography Bernard-Hollins, Sonya. "Merze Tate: Citizen of the World."

In the United States, women have historically been major contributors to the great reform movements.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 1898 Birthplace Charleston, South Carolina, USA Death Date 1987 Occupation Educator and Civil Rights Activist Biographical Text Septima Clark was an educator and civil rights activist who developed literacy and citizenship workshops that were crucial to the campaign for voting rights for African Americans in the south during the 1960s. Clark grew up a strictly segregated society which shaped her outlook on social justice. Because she was African American, her elementary education was not at the same level as white children. A high school opened in 1914 so that she could graduate and take a state examination to start teaching. As an African American, she was barred from teaching in the Charleston public schools, but she could teach on the Sea Islands. Gross disparities represented white and black education. She became politically involved in 1919 when she started actively attending NAACP meetings. She settled in Columbia, South Carolina where she taught at the Booker T. Washington High School. Clark is still remembered as an outstanding educator. She taught there for eighteen years and became more involved in civil rights activism. Clark went on to study with W.E.B. DuBois and earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees. She was an influential figure in the long Civil Rights Movement and one that is too often forgotten. Bibliography McFadden, Grace Jordan.
