Called to Lead: The Life and Legacy of Marjorie Williams Kinard
Marjorie Williams Kinard is an award-winning educator, archivist, local historian, writer, and the wife of the late John Kinard, the first African American Director of a Smithsonian Institution museum. A woman passionate about history, she was born in Washington, DC, where she received her early education. After graduating from college, she served as a teacher in the DC Public Schools. As a young widow with three daughters, she moved to North Carolina to manage programs at Livingstone College (her alma mater) and Barber-Scotia College. In 2004, she returned to Washington, DC, to become a Director at several preschools. This courageous, compassionate, and culturally confident activist-leader fosters trust and innovation on the numerous national, regional, and local boards on which she serves. Recently, she received national attention as the initiator and project director of a conservation effort at Woodlawn Cemetery, which located the long-lost graves of prominent national leaders. The Woodlawn Collaborative Project has been profiled by numerous newspapers and featured on several television shows, which have cited her achievements in leading a local restoration initiative, helping to complete historical records, preserving a cultural landmark, and offering educational studies on past cultures and social customs. |
