| Abstract | Community volunteer and community resource specialist Dale E. Clinton was born June 10, 1927, in Tupelo, Mississippi and moved to Chicago as a teenager. Clinton enrolled at Wilson Junior College and Cortez Typing School, where she studied commercial law and nursing. Her political education came from organizing youth volunteers to support Chicago's African American congressman, William L. Dawson. In 1959, Clinton moved to Long Beach, California. When Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty called for the eradication of federal welfare programs, Clinton, then on public aid, wrote a letter to President Lyndon Johnson. Her frank letter was read into the Congressional Record and published in Parade. Soon, Clinton's advice was sought by anti-poverty agencies, and she climbed to the executive staff of the Office of Community and Human Relations for the city of Long Beach. Clinton was the recipient of numerous awards and honors for championing welfare rights, fair housing, and economic development. |
