THE VFA PIONEER HISTORIES PROJECT

Dr. Barbara Guillory Thompson

May 12, 1936 – August 2, 2015

“The women’s movement found little support among Southern black women, partly because many seem to fear that an active feminism would drive a wedge between them and black men.” Dr. Guillory Thompson, 1975

Educator and public servant. Led the desegregation of Tulane in the 1960s; one of the original plaintiffs in the lawsuit that led to the integration of Tulane University. Professor at Dillard University for 42 years. BA, 1957 Dillard University; MA, 1960 Louisiana State University (sociology); PhD, 1974 Tulane University (sociology).

Photo. Dr. Guillory Thompson, circa 1980.
