NEVER forget...

Born in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1936, Johnnetta Betsch Cole grew up in an upper-middle-class household. However, she quickly realized that “money could never really protect me from racism.” At the age of five, she walked into a whites-only neighborhood where a boy called her the n-word. She never forgot the incident that “tore at me.” “As if the boy, no bigger than I was, was attacking me with daggers,” she recalled.

Prestige ran through Cole’s family history. Her great-grandfather, Abraham Lincoln Lewis, became Jacksonville’s first Black millionaire and co-founded the Afro-American Life Insurance Company as well as founding the Black-owned community of American Beach. Her mother worked as an English teacher and registrar and filled their home with Black art and classic literature.

The library became Cole’s sanctuary, where she buried herself in books that transported her to another world. Her passion for learning led Cole to enroll at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, at fifteen years old. One year later, she transferred to Oberlin College in Ohio, where she discovered her passion for anthropology. She graduated from Northwestern University and received her doctorate in 1967.
