Ann Nixon Cooper is an elderly African-American woman who came to national attention in 2008 when then President-elect Barack Obama spoke of her in his post-election acceptance speech, as a representative of the change in status that African-Americans had undergone during the past century.
Although Ms.Cooper spent her life working to promote black opportunity in the Atlanta area where she lived, Mr. Obama cited her as bridging the generation gap from parents of the post-Civil War era to the election of the first African-American President. What she did was live long enough to see the changes in life for African-Americas in the US.
