Talk:Nellie Quander

correction necessary
The chart that lists founders of Alpha Kappa Alpha, needs to be corrected. Nellie Quander, Nellie Russell, Minne Smith and Julia Brooks were not founders, they were incorporators.

That list is for the founders and incorporators. It is explained on the Alpha Kappa Alpha page that there 3 groups with in the founders (orginators, sophomores, incrporators). LivelyIvy 1908  17:12, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

"free slave dynasty"?
Surely there's a better phrase. &mdash;Tamfang (talk) 02:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I too was wondering what the phrase meant and why it isn't a contradiction in terms. 05:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Apparently it means that she has a long, documented history of the family being free blacks after being slaves. Since they (her ancestors) were freed by George Washington, that would be, what; 200 years-ish? At least, that's what I gather from the in-line source. &mdash;ScouterSig 22:38, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Agree. Miranda 09:02, 9 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Or, to put it another way, 66 years: from when her ancestor was freed (1799) to when the distinction no longer mattered (1865). —Tamfang (talk) 22:23, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Extended family
Her relatives are interesting, but usually in a bio like this, there wouldn't be as much text about distant relatives unless they had an influence on her. Maybe the portion on West Ford could be shortened. Is there an article on him individually?--Parkwells (talk) 13:38, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Miner Normal School (1879-1929)
Do you know how to directly connect (is it redirect?) Miner Normal School to Normal School for Colored Girls, which has an article? I'll try to find out how to do it - can't remember this morning. It existed longer as Miner Normal School (see dates above) than as Normal School for Colored Girls. In 1929 Congress authorized a 4-year college curriculum and made it Miner Teachers College, and later became part of the University of the District of Columbia. --Parkwells (talk) 13:51, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
