Audrey Grevious
Audrey Ross Grevious (September 30, 1930 - ), born Audrey Louise Ross in Lexington, Kentucky, became one of the central leaders in the local civil rights movement in Lexington and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
==Early life==
Grevious was born at home, (421 Race Street ) in the (East End ) of Lexington. As a young child, Grevious lived a one parent home which she shared with her mother, Martha Ross from Monticello, Kentucky, and younger brother, Robert Jefferson.〔"Audrey Grevious." Interview by Betsy Brinson. April 13, 1999. ( The Civil Rights Movement in Kentucky: Oral History Project ), Kentucky Historical Society. Digital recordings. Accessed December 5, 2010. (Note: A transcript of the recordings is available (here ))〕 Her father was from Lexington but did not live with them and she described her upbringing as being raised not only by her mother, but the entire African American community. "When I hear people talk bad about what happens to children who are raised by one parent, you know, I look at them like they're crazy ... I can look at myself and at my brother and say that our mother did an excellent job of raising us, as many of the other mothers did in our neighborhood during that time."〔"Mrs. Audrey Grevious." Interview by Boyd L. Shearer and Harold Barker. Digital recording. April 23, 1997. (The Daily Aesthetic: Oral Histories ). Accessed December 5, 2010.

Grevious spent most of her youth helping her mother and trying to stay out of trouble. Her mother was a domestic servant: "I guess you would call her a nanny, but she was not called a nanny then. But she did the things that the nannies are doing now and being paid very well for. She raised up children."〔 Grevious attended Constitution Elementary School and then Dunbar Junior and High School, both segregated schools, almost always bringing home good grades. She credited her mother with giving her the drive and self-confidence to succeed: "She instilled in us that we needed to be the very best that we could. That we needed to have a goal and that that goal would mean that we had to depend on other people to help us get there; which meant we couldn't waste our time and energy doing stupid things, getting into trouble."〔
Grevious participated in Girl Scouts and was involved in many social functions at the (Charles Young Community Center ), including dances, arts and crafts activities and talent shows. From an early age, she was inspired to become a teacher, citing a her math teachers at Dunbar, Mrs. Claire Winda Taylor and Mrs. Ada Taylor ("the unofficial principle of Dunbar High school"〔) as her role model for a future career in teaching. Grevious graduated from (Dunbar High School ) in 1948 and remains active in fundraising efforts of the Dunbar Alumni Association which offers scholarships to promising students.
