Pauley, Frances Freeborn, 1905-2003

Authoritative Name:
Pauley, Frances Freeborn, 1905-2003
Biography:
"Frances Freeborn Pauley, social activist and political organizer, devoted her life to the battle against prejudice and discrimination in the South. Born in Ohio in 1905, Pauley moved with her family to DeKalb County, Georgia, at the age of three. She attended the Decatur public schools and then Agnes Scott College, from which she graduated in 1927 with a major in math and extensive work in drama. Pauley traced the origins of her activist career to the example provided by family members who challenged the racial mores of the South and to the social gospel of the Methodist Church. Beginning in the 1930s, a core set of commitments to public education, health and welfare, the civil rights of the oppressed, and the needs of the poor animated a lifetime of educating, organizing, and lobbying that extended into the 1990s."--"Frances Pauley (1905-2003)," New Georgia Encyclopedia.
