== Biography ==
Alice Jackson Stuart was born June 2, 1913 in Richmond, Virginia to Dr. James Jackson and Clara Kersey. She was the oldest of three surviving children. Stuart was born to college educated parents who could afford to send her to college. As a result, Stuart attended Virginia Union University where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English. During her time studying undergrad, Stuart was a part of Virginia State College's Delta Sigma Theta chapter.〔(Preserving Fraternity and Sorority Records: The Legacy of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority )〕 In August 1935, Stuart became the first African American woman to apply to the University of Virginia for graduate studies. She was denied based upon the Jim Crow educational policies that existed during the time. The school board refused to explain the "good and sufficient reasons" for which she was denied entry.〔 She later went on to attend Columbia University with the grant money she received from the Dovell Act. Stuart graduated in 1937 from Columbia University with a Master of Arts in English. In an interview with her only son, Julian Towns Houston, Julian described his mother as "in some ways a larger than life figure… devoted to education, loved teaching, loved her students."〔(Alice Jackson Stuart's Papers Donated to UVA )〕 After graduating from Columbia University, Stuart went on to work at Bethune-Cookman College, Howard College, as well as many high schools. She was awarded a fellowship by the Ford Foundation which allowed her to travel around the country. Stuart died age 88 on June 13, 2001, a week after her grandson graduated from Harvard University.
