Elaine Parker
C. Elaine Parker, born Cora Elaine Smith, (June 11, 1926 – December 30, 2009) was a Harlem community activist who promoted and directed social, political, economic, or environmental change in Harlem.
==Early life==
Elaine or “Lady Day” as she was often called, was born in Washington, D.C. to Mr. Lawrence Smith and Mrs. Mary Agnes Smith. She was the mother of five children and wife of the late Leonard R. Parker, Jr. She completed her primary education in Stafford, Virginia at the Stafford Training School. She moved to New York at an early age where she began her modeling career and became the first black woman spokes model at The World’s Fair. This was after the many struggles and protests that C.O.R.E. waged for black employment and representation at the World's Fair.
Elaine began her career as a community activist where she was elected president of the Parent Teacher Association at P.S. 100, Matthew Henson School in Harlem. This motivated her to become "a part of the solution”. Her strong sense of community activism was recognized by the late Honorable Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. who selected her to be a part of his team, where she served as an aide and community liaison.
