Clayton Latimer was born on March 18th, 1952 in Montgomery, Alabama to Frances and Clayton J. Latimer. Both of her parents were very supportive of her and made it a constant effort for her to understand that gender should not discourage her from accomplishing and going after things that she loved. When she was small, she told her father that she wanted to be a detective, a very male dominated field at the time, and he made her a fingerprinting kit for her. At the age of 15, Clayton lost both of her parents and was left to live with her uncle in New Orleans, Louisiana. Once she graduated high school, she began to further her interest involving civil rights, but had no clear direction as to where it was going. One of the first jobs that she had was working at a catholic school located in a small town north of New Orleans. After working there for a bit, she began to expand her horizons and started working for organizations such as NOW and ERA, which she has stuck with for nearly her whole career. Once she retired, she still worked towards better social justice by joining an LGBT task force that helped LGBGT foster children in the system. Although it seems as if she is not working for this organization anymore, she began doing things involving the New Orleans Human Relations Commission Advisory Committee.
