Theodora Lacey

  • ... that civil rights activist Theodora Lacey helped lead the campaign which, in 1964, resulted in Teaneck, New Jersey, becoming the first town in the United States to vote for school integration? Source: "They were part of a group that worked to change discriminatory housing practices, and also banded together with like-minded Teaneck residents and educators who took a stand to desegregate the township's schools. They succeeded, with the school district becoming the first in the nation to integrate without a court order."[1])
