Julia Baxter Bates was the first African American student admitted into Douglass College^[1] (later renamed Douglass Residential College) at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. She graduated magna cum laude in English, and then later earned a master's degree from Columbia University. Additionally, Baxter headed research at the NAACP for two decades, and worked with powerful civil rights leaders like Thurgood Marshall and W.E.B. DuBois. Her research influenced Supreme Court decisions that outlawed discrimination in housing and education.
