Abstract
In 1988, Kappa Delta Pi selected Dr. Deborah Partridge Wolfe for membership in its Laureate Chapter. Wolfe, a prominent African-American social educator, dedicated her career in education to living and promoting the key ideals of Kappa Delta Pi's mission: scholarship, excellence, diversity, inquiry, reflection, and fellowship. This biography of Wolfe, who passed away September 3, 2004, offers insight into her long-term commitment and contributions to education. Most of the information contained in this manuscript was provided by Dr. Wolfe during an interview with the author in May and June of 2000.
