Educator Edith Armstead Gray was born on November 19, 1910 in Galveston, Texas. She was educated for three years at Lamarque Public School, a one-room schoolhouse in Lamarque, Texas. She completed her elementary education at Booker T. Washington Public School in Bay City, Texas and earned her high school diploma from Central High School in Galveston in 1930. Gray's maternal grandmother was a slave while her grandfather was a free West Indian who worked on a banana boat until he was captured after the boat docked in Galveston and he ventured into town. In 1940, Gray earned her B.S. degree in home economics from Tuskegee Institute where she spent nearly ten years working her way through college. Gray then taught home economics in Conecuh County from 1934 until 1976 when she retired. Edith Armstead Gray passed away on December 1, 2009 at age 99. |
