Madeline W. Jones, retired city teacher, dies at 82

Madeline W. Jones had a passion for African-American history and the Pan-African movement. And she eagerly taught both to her students in Richmond Public Schools for 30 years before retiring in 1995. Her passion to teach black history and of the need for people of African descent to unite for progress was first fueled when she attended a Black History Class in the city taught in 1950 by Dr. Joseph Ransome, a history teacher at Armstrong High School.
