Helen Elsie Austin
2019
Overview
Helen Elsie Austin was born May 10, 1908, to Mary Louise Austin and George J. Austin, both of whom worked at the Tuskegee Institute and were friends with Booker T. and Margaret Washington at the same university.1 The family moved several times because George Austin (a veteran of the Spanish-American War) served as \"Commander of Men\"2 at schools in Alabama, in Texas, and-with America's involvement in World War I-at the Fort Des Moines, Iowa, Provisional Army Officer Training School. [...]there were no black faculty; black students could not live in the dormitories, had limited access to the university pool, and were cautioned by the college administrator to be inconspicuous and to have low expectations. [...]she was honored as an invited speaker at a symposium in Cleveland.
