Ella
Nora
Phillips
Stewart
(1893-1987)
was
born
in
Stringtown
,
West
Virginia
. She
attended
high
school
at the
age
of
twelve
at
Storer
College
-
the
only
school
in the
region
that
accepted
black
students
.
Stewart
wished
to
attend
the
University
of
Pittsburgh's
School
of
Pharmacy
but was
met
with
discrimination
when
she was
told
admissions
were
closed
. She
persisted
however
, and
although
segregated
from
other
students
, she
graduated
with
high
marks
passing
her
state
exam
in
1916
, to
become
the
first
licensed
African-American
female
pharmacist
in
Pennsylvania
and
one
of the
earliest
practicing
African-American
female
pharmacists
in the
country
.
Phillips
married
William
Stewart
, also a
graduate
of the
School
of
Pharmacy
at the
University
of
Pittsburgh
in
1920
, and
moved
to
Youngstown
,
Ohio
. She
learned
that there were
no
black-owned
drugstores
in
Toledo
,
Ohio
,
so
she
traveled
to
Toledo
, and in
1922
opened
the
Stewart's
Pharmacy
.
Ella
became
involved
in the
Enterprise
Charity
Club
, a
black
women's
philanthropic
club
which
provided
assistance
to
Toledo
families
.
Through
her
work
with this
club
,
Stewart
developed
a
reputation
of
leadership
that
led
to her
eventual
election
in
1944
as
President
of the
Ohio
Association
of
Colored
Women
and from
1948
to
1952
, as
President
of the
National
Association
of
Colored
Women
(NACW)
.
Stewart
was also
involved
in
local
affairs
as a
member
of the
Toledo
League
of
Women
Voters
(the
first
African-American
member)
, the
League
of
City
Mothers
, the
Toledo
Council
of
Churches
, and the
Young
Women's
Christian
Association
(YWCA)
.
Because
of her
outstanding
leadership
,
Stewart
was
chosen
in
1952
to be a
delegate
to the
International
Conference
of
Women
of the
World
. In
1963
she was
appointed
Commissioner
for the
United
Nations
Education
Scientific
and
Cultural
Organization
(UNESCO)
and
continued
her
travels
throughout
the
world
. For
Stewart
, her
most
cherished
achievement
and
honor
was the
naming
of a
Toledo
elementary
school
after
her; a
school
she
visited
often
,
serving
as a
role
model
to its
young
students
.
