| Summary: | Social worker Alice Mary Windom was born on March 30, 1936, in St. Louis, Missouri. Attending Cote Brilliante Elementary School in St. Louis, she graduated from Sumner High School in 1953. Graduating in 1957 with her B.S. degree in social work, Windom earned her M.S.W. degree from the University of Chicago in 1959. A part of an historic group of diverse African American expatriates in Ghana, including John Henrik Clarke, Maya Angelou, Curtis "Kojo" Morrow and the elder W.E.B. DuBois, Windom lived in Ghana, West Africa, working as a secondary school teacher and secretary to the Ethiopian Ambassador from 1962 to 1964. In 1964, Windom helped plan the itinerary for Malcolm X's trip to Ghana. Windom also served as administrative assistant for the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa from 1964 to 1968. From 1989 to 1998, Windom served as the coordinator at the Bush Center for Law, Policy, and Social Change at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
