La Francis Rodgers-Rose is an American sociologist and CEO of the International Black Women’s Congress. Early life and educationLa Francis Rodgers-Rose was born in Norfolk, Virginia, and grew up in segregated Portsmouth, Virginia with her mother, two older brothers an younger sister.[1][2] She graduated from Morgan State University with honours in sociology and anthropology in 1958, where her commencement speaker was the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.[2] She later also graduated from Fisk University. She also attended the University of Iowa for her PhD, studying social psychology.[1][2] CareerRodgers-Rose took up her first full-time teaching post in 1964, and held many teaching positions until 1972 when she left to take up a position at Educational Testing Services in Princeton, New Jersey. She returned to teaching a year later, after differences in direction between herself and the organisation.[1] She has over 30 years of teaching experience; she taught African American Studies at Princeton University for 16 years, and has taught at Case Western Reserve University, Rutgers University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Drew University. Rodgers-Rose is the author of The Black Woman, published in 1980 by Sage Publications, the first textbook in the social sciences about Black women from their own perspectives.[1] In this book, she highlights that although Black women participate in the labour market at higher rates, the jobs they occupy are more likely to be less secure, have fewer benefits, and pay less than those held by white women.[3] She is CEO of the International Black Women’s Congress,[4] a nonprofit organisation for women of African ancestry, which she founded in 1983 in Newark, New Jersey.[5] It aims to surface social, political and economic empowerment in a global community of Black women.[6] In 2017 She was the recipient of a Malcolm X Black Unity Awards from the Organisation of Black Unity in the UK.[7] She is described by American sociologist Dolores P. Aldridge as one of the pioneering black woman sociologists.[8] Personal lifeAfter suffering from congestive heart failure, Rodgers-Rose had a heart transplant aged 65. She is an advocate for health and organ donation in the African-American community.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 {{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/311266877|title=Imagine a world : pioneering black women sociologists|last=Aldridge|first=Delores P.|date=2009|publisher=University Press of America|year=|isbn=9780761841876|location=Lanham|pages=|oclc=311266877}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Rodgers-Rose, La Francis}}2. ^1 2 3 {{Cite web|url=https://www.donatelifevirginia.org/heartofanactivist/|title=Heart of an Activist: The Unstoppable Dr. Rodgers-Rose – Donate Life Virginia|website=www.donatelifevirginia.org|language=en-US|access-date=2018-09-08}} 3. ^{{Cite journal|last=MAYS|first=VICKIE M.|date=1995|title=Black Women, Work, Stress, and Perceived Discrimination: The Focused Support Group Model as an Intervention for Stress Reduction|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3650252/|journal=Cultural Diversity and Mental Health|volume=1|issue=1|pages=53–65|issn=1077-341X|pmc=3650252|pmid=9225548}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=http://ibwc.us/la-francis-rodgers-rose-ph-d/|title=La Francis Rodgers-Rose, Ph.D.|work=International Black Women's Congress|access-date=2018-09-08|language=en-US}} 5. ^{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1007497959|title=Encyclopedia of African American business|others=Smith, Jessie Carney, 1930-|isbn=9781440850271|edition=Updated and revised|location=Santa Barbara, California|oclc=1007497959}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.blacknews.com/news/international-black-womens-congress-ibwc-30th-economic-empowerment-conference/#.W5T1xs5Kipo|title=International Black Women's Congress (IBWC) Holds 30th Annual Economic Empowerment Conference In Virgina Beach|last=|first=|date=12 August 2014|website=www.blacknews.com|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2018-09-09}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=http://amsterdamnews.com/news/2017/may/18/malcolm-x-black-unity-awards-being-held-may-21/|title=Malcolm X Black Unity Awards being held May 21|access-date=2018-09-09}} 8. ^{{Cite journal|last=Horsham-Brathwaite|first=Cicely N.|date=2010|title=Review of Imagine a World: Pioneering Black Women Sociologists|journal=The Journal of Negro Education|volume=79|issue=1|pages=87–89|jstor=25676112}} 9 : Living people|Biography articles of living people|Biographies about African-American people|American sociologists|African-American studies scholars|People from Norfolk, Virginia|People from Portsmouth, Virginia|University of Iowa alumni|Year of birth missing (living people) |
