520 Marian Alexander Spencer was born in 1920 in the Ohio
River town of Gallipolis, Ohio, one year after the "Red
Summer" of 1919 that saw an upsurge in race riots and
lynchings. Following the example of her grandfather, an ex
-slave and community leader, Marian joined the NAACP at
thirteen and grew up to achieve not only a number of civic
leadership firsts in her adopted home city of Cincinnati,
but a legacy of lasting civil rights victories. Of these,
the best known is the desegregation of Cincinnati's Coney
Island amusement park. She also fought to desegregate
Cincinnati schools and to stop the introduction of
observers in black voting precincts in Ohio. Her campaign
to raise awareness of industrial toxic-waste practices in
minority neighborhoods was later adapted into national
Superfund legislation. In 2012, Marian's friend and
colleague Dot Christenson sat down with her to record her
memories. The resulting biography not only gives us the
life story of remarkable leader but encapsulates many of
the twentieth century's greatest struggles and advances.
Spencer's story will prove inspirational and instructive
to citizens and students alike.
