Abstract

Willie Lee Campbell Glass was a Black educator and home economist whose career spanned almost four decades from 1933 through the 1970s. As the first Black state consultant for home economics with the Texas Education Agency, Glass was a leader in the development of programs that prepared classroom teachers for desegregation. Using wit and diplomacy, she paved the way for many women and African Americans as a respected professional in the field of home economics/family and consumer sciences education. Glass focused on serving others and making young Black students feel good about themselves. Her life provides important information related to the history of the profession and a model for family and consumer sciences students, educators, and administrators.
