Abstract |
City administrator and community activist Nadine Poole Winter was born in New Bern North Carolina on March 3, 1924. Winter grew up in North Carolina and attended public school in Winston-Salem. In 1941, she enrolled in Livingston College in nearby Salisbury, North Carolina but transferred to Brooklyn College in New York, where she opened a center to foster cultural understanding in her neighborhood. Coming to D.C. in 1945, to work on her master's thesis at Federal City College, she opened a similar center. Abandoning the government jobs she had held throughout the 1950s, she opened Hospitality House in 1959. She represented Ward 6 on the D.C. Council from 1974 to 1990. Remaining active in the community of breast cancer survivors, she became founder of Hospitality House and Health Action Information network. Winter belonged to the National Congress of Black Women; the Self-Determination for D.C. Coalition. She passed away on August 26, 2011. |
