Faith Rich
Faith Rich (born Faith Baldwin) (1909–1990) was a grass roots community activist, an educator and a supporter of the Civil Rights Movement. She was born to a farming family in Vermont in 1909. She received her doctoral degree in Classics from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania in 1934, despite the College’s opposition to her radicalism. She married Theodore Rich, or Ted, and they moved to Chicago in the mid 1930s, and began her work in activism and public service.〔https://bmrcprocessingproject.uchicago.edu/sites/bmrcprocessingproject.uchicago.edu/files/Finding%20Aids/Faith%20Rich%20Papers_0.pdf〕
==NAACP and Community Involvement==
While working with the International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union in Chicago, Rich became involved with numerous community improvement organizations, primarily in the city’s West Side neighborhood of North Lawndale. Rich’s involvement with the Westside Chicago Branch of National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) began in 1945 and lasted until her death in 1990. There she served as Education Chairman, focusing her work on desegregating Chicago Public Schools and instituting an intensive phonetic program to the city’s reading curriculum. She served on the NAACP Textbook Committee, revising school textbooks to remove bias and better reflect contributions made by African Americans, Catholics, Jews and other groups.〔Reed, Christopher Robert. ''The Chicago NAACP and the Rise of Black Professional Leadership, 1910-1966,''
1997. page 156〕 In addition to her work with the NAACP, Rich was an activist in the West Side community. She served as a member of the Illinois Parent Teacher Association (PTA), the George W. Collins High School’s Local School Council (LSC) and the 15th Place Block Club. Rich was also interested in how urban renewal, both at the city level and the community level, could affect urban life and socioeconomic opportunity.〔George N.
