Summary

Nonprofit executive and civic leader Fannie L. Brown was born June 29, 1954 in Montezuma, Georgia and raised in Akron, Ohio. She earned her B.A. degree in business management from Malone College in Canton, Ohio; her M.S. degree in technical education from the University of Akron in 1991; and her Ph.D. degree in Secondary Education from the University of Akron in 1995. In 1997, she was appointed executive director of The Coming Together Project USA, a coalition of organizations dedicated to improving race relations. In 1997, President William Jefferson Clinton chose Akron, Ohio as the setting for his first town meeting on race, largely because of Brown and other Akron community leaders' efforts to promote racial harmony in city neighborhoods and schools through The Coming Together Project. Brown is a board member of Books for African; and a member of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission in Ohio.
