File info[edit]

Caption Family and Bahá’í friends who attended the June 8, 1965 dedication program of the Mary B. Martin School in Cleveland, Ohio are shown at the left. This public elementary school erected in 1963 was named for the mother of Lydia B. Martin and Sarah Martin Pereira (see account in BAHÁ’Í NEWS, March 1963, p. 15) and serves as a fitting living memorial to one who took an active part in civic and humanitarian affairs. She was the first Negro member of the Cleveland Board of Education, where she served from 1929 to 1939. The picture shows a portrait of Mrs. Martin in the background. She was active in the Bahá’í Faith from 1912 until her death in 1939 and her association with the Faith was given a prominent place in the newspaper stories at the time of the naming of the school in 1963 and at the recent dedication services in June, 1965.
