Blanche Armwood
Blanche Armwood (1890–1939), Educator, activist and the first African-American woman in the state of Florida to graduate from an accredited law school. Blanche is also known for being the first Executive Secretary of the Tampa Urban League and as a founder of five Household Industrial Arts Schools for African-American woman in five different states.

==Early life==
Blanche Armwood was born on January 23, 1890 in Tampa, Florida to Levin Armwood, Jr. and Margaret Holloman. Born into a prominent middle-class family, she was the one five children. Her great uncle, John Armwood was a negotiator between the Seminole Native Americans and white settlers along the Florida frontier.〔( Keith Halderman JSTOR: Blanche Armwood of Tampa )〕 John Armwood was also an early landowner who homesteaded 159 acres of land in Hillsborough County. Her father was Tampa’s first black policeman who also served as a country deputy sheriff. Mr. Armwood along with Blanche’s brother, Walter, owned the only black-owned drugstore in Tampa the “Gem.” 〔( Keith Halderman JSTOR: Blanche Armwood of Tampa )〕 Walter Armwood held positions as a professor at Bethune-Cookman University and as a state supervisor for the U.S. Bureau Negro Economics. Her maternal grandfather, Adam Holloman owned citrus groves and was the Hillsborough County Commissioner from 1873 to 1877.〔( Tampa Native, Blanche Armwood )〕
Armwood graduated with honors from St. Peter Claver Catholic School in 1902. That same year, she passed the State Uniform Teacher’s Examination. During that time, Tampa did not have a high school for blacks. As a result, at the age of twelve, her parents sent Blanche to Spelman Seminary (later Spelman College in Atlanta, GA. Blanche excelled in English and Latin courses and graduated ''summa cum laude'' from Spelman in 1906 earning a teacher’s certificate.
