| Summary: | City government employee and civil rights activist Dabney N. Montgomery was born on April 18, 1923 in Selma, Alabama. A Tuskegee Airman, he joined the U.S. Army in 1941, and served for two years during World War II with the 1051st Quartermaster Company of the 96th Air Service Group, attached to the 332nd Air Fighter Group. In 1949, Montgomery received his B.A. degree in religious education from Livingstone College in Salisbury, North Carolina. He enrolled at Boston Conservatory of Music, studying dance. He later studied dance with the New York City Metropolitan Opera Dance School before an injury forced the end of his career. In 1955, he worked for the New York City in the Department of Social Services and later for the Housing Authority. Heavily involved in the Civil Rights Movement in New York and in the South, Montgomery retired in 1988. Montgomery passed away on September 3, 2016 at age 93.
