In 1929, Dr. Jane Ellen McAllister became the first African American woman in the U.S. to earn a Ph.D. in Education.
She trained generations of Black teachers. She stood tall in segregated classrooms. She believed education was liberation.
But today, her home in Vicksburg, Mississippi—the place where she studied, dreamed, and built her legacy—is falling apart.
We’ve launched a $1 million campaign to restore that house and transform it into the Dr. Jane Ellen McAllister National Museum and Learning Center.
This isn’t about bricks. It’s about legacy.
Donate today to honor her story—and help future generations learn from it.
