(1911-2003)

Year Inducted: 2001

Home State: TX

Growing up on the family's 150-year-old ranch, Mollie learned every ranching task from working on windmills to branding cattle. After graduating from Fisk University, Mollie returned to the ranch to preserve her birthright. During the years of segregation, Mollie opened the ranch as a haven for black children who were barred from the city parks. A strong believer in education, she aided many students with the means to have college educations.
