Wilhelmina Crosson (1900–91), another pioneering African American educator, became the second president of Palmer Memorial Institute, and Gladys Holmes (1892–1969), a Radcliffe graduate, was an author, educator, and social worker. Coretta Scott King (1927-2006) lived at the League’s building while studying at the New England Conservatory of Music. The building, owned by sea captain and anti-slavery activist James Farwell, is believed to have been a station on the Underground Railroad.
