Abby Marlatt
Abby Lindsey Marlatt, Ph.D. (December 5, 1916 – March 3, 2010) was a social justice activist and a teacher scholar committed to civic engagement. While a professor at the University of Kentucky (UK) in Lexington, Kentucky , she became the center of controversy at UK in the mid-1960s over anti-war protests and whether the University could censor her in her role as a public intellectual. She was honored for her work by many academic, professional and community organizations including the National Conference for Community and Justice, and she was inducted into the (Civil Rights Hall of Fame in 2001 ).
==Early life and education==
Born on December 5, 1916, and raised in Manhattan, Kansas, Abby Marlatt grew up in a family that had long roots in higher education. She was the daughter and only child of Frederick and Annie Marlatt, the granddaughter of (Washington and Julia Marlatt ) and the niece of Abby Lillian Marlatt. Marlatt attended Kansas State College, graduating in 1938 with a bachelor's degree in home economics, specializing in dietetics and institution management. While she was in college, she became very active in the student Christian movement, serving as chairman of the college chapter of the YWCA. She recalled in an interview with Betsy Brinson that one of the highlights of her college career was a summer service project in New York City where she served as an assistant manager in the Allen Matthew House on West 11th Street, a settlement house for working-class girls where they learned to plan and cook meals together.〔
To qualify as a dietician she went to the University of California at Berkeley as an intern. She finished her internship earning her certificate in 1941 having taken some graduate work as well. Dr. Agnus Fay Morgan, who was head of the department, hired her as a teaching assistant so that she could work toward her Ph.D. There she worked with the American Friends Service Committee and the Fellowship of Reconciliation, and she was trained in non-violent direct direct action by Bayard Ruston.〔
