MARY Z. GRAY
Mary Z. Gray was born on Capitol Hill in 1919 and grew up above the family funeral parlor at 301 East Capitol, which inspired the title of her 2012 memoir. A journalist and speech writer, she has written for the Washington Post and The New York Times, served in the Kennedy-Johnson White House and on a Presidential committee, and wrote speeches for Cabinet members and members of Congress. Her book, 301 East Capitol Street: Tales from the Heart of the City, is the first title published by the Overbeck History Press. |
