She had many civic and political experiences. Some of the major accomplishments she made are as chairperson of the Human Relations Committee and Executive Board of the local Richmond (Indiana) Association of Classroom Teachers, chairperson of the Folklore First Black Teacher (twenty-five years) in Richmond, Indiana; choir director of the Bethel AME Church for fifteen years; director of Indiana Civil Rights Commission from 1973–1977; recipient of the Indiana Wabash Award (highest in the state); lecturer at many colleges and civic organizations; AARP chairperson at North Vernon, Indiana, for two years (age sixty-five); and author. She has also served as an elected board member at Country Squire Lakes, North Vernon, from April 1981 through November 1983.
