(1904-1987)

Here lived Pauline Maloney, known as Lynchburg's
"first lady of education." A graduate of Howard University,
she worked in Lynchburg
public schools from 1937 to 1970, most notably
as a guidance counselor and administrator at
the all-black Dunbar High School.
During the
1970s she was elected the first black president
of both the Virginia School Boards Association
and the National School Boards Association
Southern Region. In 1977 Maloney became the
first woman rector of Norfolk State University.
She served as national president of The Links, Inc.,
civic organization of African American women,
and she founded the Lynchburg chapter in 1950.
