Dr. Hattie N. Washington:
Dr. Hattie N. Washington is currently a Professor of Education at Coppin State University (CSU) in Baltimore, MD. She likes to be known as “Aunt Hattie” and is the Founder & President of Aunt Hattie’s Place, Inc. , a non-profit residential facility for males with special educational needs.
Dr. Washington travels the country as a motivational speaker, trainer and consultant. She shares her humble beginnings in Prince Edward County, VA from living in a small wooden house with over fifteen family members to being sent away from home for education purposes, when her two-room school closed down in 1959 due to desegregation. Her compelling story will inspire audiences as she shares lessons learned on how to make positive changes in their lives despite obstacles. Her memoir is entitled “Driven to Succeed.”

Dr. Rose Ihedigbo immigrated to the United States with her late husband Apollos, and three children under 3 years old in 1979. Both had a strong commitment to education and wanted to instill that in their children. After moving to the U.S., they had two additional boys. They both began their pursuit of higher education. She studied at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst where she received her BA, M.Ed., and Doctorate in Early Childhood Education. She does consulting and public speaking across the country.

See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
