Nellie Rathbone Bright (March 28, 1898 - February 7, 1977) was an African-American educator and author. == Early life ==
Nellie Rathbone Bright was born in Savannah, Georgia on March 28, 1898, the only child of Reverend Richard Bright and his wife, Nellie (Jones) Bright. Bright was named after mother and grandmother; her middle name originated from her godmother Caroline Rathbone, a family friend and social activist. Bright's father was born on Saint Thomas in what was then the Dutch West Indies. He received his education at St. Augustine Collegiate Institute in Raleigh, North Carolina, and graduated from Episcopal Theological seminary in New York in 1891. Upon graduation, Rev. Bright was assigned to the Espiscopal diocese in Savannah, the first black Episcopal priest to be appointed to the position. Bright's mother, Nellie, was from Louisville, Kentucky. She had received her education to become a teacher in Europe because she was denied entrance on racial grounds to schools in the United States.〔(Rathbone Bright Family Papers (Collection 2057), The Historical Society of Pennsylvania. http://hsp.org/sites/default/files/legacy_files/migrated/findingaid2057nelliebright.pdf )〕〔(Allen B. ''Breaching Jericho's Walls: A Twentieth-century African American Life.'' Albany: Excelsior Editions/State University of New York, 2011. Print. )〕 Shortly after their arrival in Savannah, in 1892, the Brights established the first private kindergarten and primary school for blacks in Georgia. In the early 1910s, the Brights moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where Rev. Bright had accepted an appointment.
