She earned two degrees at Florida A&M University (FAMU) and designation of Certified Public Manager (CPM) at Rutgers University of New Jersey. This servant leader is a “Life” and “Golden” member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.
For over 38 years, Deloris provided leadership in educational access/equal-opportunity programs for constituents in colleges and universities throughout Florida and New Jersey. In the same genre, she served as a consultant in the Republic of South Africa with the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
The reduction of African American-owned businesses and family dwellings in ‘Allen’ compelled the author to document the impact of this once-vibrant neighborhood. Historically, it had braved segregation, discrimination, disparities in economic opportunities, and other Jim Crow practices. Yet, it created a significantly independent economic engine and produced African Americans and descendants of remarkable success.
This publication is the first of its magnitude for Harpool. She produced research-based content for local reports and for historical markers in her early home community. She offers these works with hopes that they will enlighten, entertain, uplift, and inspire readers to explore the legacy of ‘Allen’ and other African American communities for the incredible value they add to the American landscape.vizualizați mai puține
