Lettie Coleman Madison, 105, developed social work department at VUU
For more than a century — 105 years to be exact — Lettie Coleman Madison used her vast reservoir of talents and experiences to help transform the lives of others. The daughter of a sharecropper and granddaughter of freed slaves, she left no stone unturned while seeking to help others. She was a lifelong advocate for human rights as a social worker, college professor, author, philanthropist, church member and, later, as a retiree.
