Dr. Johnnetta Betsch Cole is an esteemed African American anthropologist, educator, and museum director known for her pioneering work in academia and her passionate advocacy for civil rights, gender equality, and social justice. Born on October 19, 1936, in Jacksonville, Florida, Cole has had a distinguished career, breaking barriers and setting precedents for future generations.
Cole made history as the first African American female president of Spelman College, one of the most prestigious historically black colleges for women, where she served from 1987 to 1997. Under her leadership, Spelman College saw significant growth in its endowment, academic programs, and infrastructure, further solidifying its status as a leading institution for black women’s education.
Following her tenure at Spelman, Cole continued her trailblazing career by becoming the president of Bennett College, another historically black college for women, where she served from 2002 to 2007. Her leadership at Bennett was marked by a similar dedication to academic excellence and social responsibility.
In addition to her roles in academia, Dr. Cole has also been a formidable force in the museum world. She served as the Director of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African Art, where she worked to promote African art and culture and to ensure that the museum was a space for dialogue about race, culture, and the power of art to bring people together.
Dr. Cole’s contributions extend beyond her professional achievements; she is also known for her advocacy work in civil rights, gender equality, and diversity and inclusion in higher education and the arts. She has received numerous awards and honors for her work, including multiple honorary degrees and awards from civic, educational, and social organizations.
