Day 15 of the #blackfamilyhistorychallenge is oldest graduation photo. This was my mother’s first cousin Maude Lee Williams Reavis. She graduated sometime in the 1940s but I’m not sure from which college. She was a Med Tech. She was born and raised in Flushing, Queens, New York, and lived there her entire life until placed in a nursing home near other relatives due to Alzheimer’s. Her father’s family founded a coal supply company in Flushing in the early 1900s. Maude died in NY in 2009. She and her husband James Reavis (who was from Lawrenceville, VA) had no children. #blackhistorymonth #flushingnyc https://www.instagram.com/p/CaA8m2CvAgq/?utm_medium=tumblr
