the trip to provide students
with the opportunity to expe-
rience other cultures and fur-
ther their knowledge ot other
parts of the world.
When you reach the age
of 103, you tend to carry
knowledge and history
around with you. And that
was exactly how it was with
Dorothy Penman Harrison.
When her great, great
niece Stephanie Smith was
looking for information to till
out her family tree, she turned
to Mrs Harrison who would
become a source of informa-
tion and advice. Even more
important was the friendship
that grew between them
"We bonded and never
let go," said Smith who at 33
was 70 years younger than
her aunt. "She left a high
standard for me to live up to
as a young black woman."
Mrs Harrison, an educa
tor and activist, died Decem-
ber 22, 2010 in south
suburban Flossmoor after a
short illness. Until recently,
she had lived on her own
with minimal supervision
from a caregiver.
In a life dedicated to ed-
ucation and public service,
Mrs Harrison was commit-
ted to seeking equal educ.
tional opportunities and
human rights tor all people
A small, petite woman and a
force to be reckoned with,
she didn't tolerate nonsense
from anyone, said her niece.
Mrs Harrison was born
in Portsmouth, Ohio, and at-
tended Fisk University in
Nashville where she studied
history. She returned to
Ohio and found employ
ment as a teacher.
The year 1932 was a year
that would define her future.
She received a degree in edu
cation from Ohio Stale Univer
sity', joined the Epsilon chapter
of Delta Sigma lheta Sorority
and married Gerald Lamar
Harrison, or who in 1940 was
named president ot the Col
ored Agricultural and Normal
University (now Langston
University) in Oklahoma.
While in Oklahoma, Mrs
Harrison received a master s
degree in education from Ok
lahoma State University and
served as national treasurer
for Delta Sigma Theta Soror-
ity, a public service organiza-
tion, from 1952-56 and, as its
national president from 195b-
1958. It was work that helped
her survive an unimaginable
tragedy - both her sons died
at the age of 1.3, one in a car ac -
