The first Black woman to earn a PhD on the Hill, Flemmie Kittrell, PhD \u201936, became a leading nutrition educator and policymaker<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Joe Wilensky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Flemmie Kittrell, PhD \u201936<\/a>, passed away in 1980, the eulogy at her funeral included praise for her dedication to bettering people\u2019s lives around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWherever \u2026 a human need was calling,\u201d the pastor said, \u201cshe was on her way to\u2014or had just returned from\u2014doing something about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of a long and distinguished career, Kittrell advanced home economics as a field of study, drawing from the natural and social sciences as well as the humanities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was a leader in home economics education\u2014heading that department at Howard University, shaping the early U.S. Head Start program, and leveraging the findings of rigorous research in child development and nutrition to improve lives and transform societies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And she holds a notable position in academic history: she was the first Black woman in the U.S. to receive a doctorate in nutrition\u2014and to earn a PhD in any subject at Cornell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAunt Flemmie was a fighter, and an activist for the hungry and poor \u2026 she was a citizen of the world, and that\u2019s how she saw the work she did in different countries,\u201d her niece, Flemmie Kittrell-Williams, said in a 2022 interview conducted by the College of Human Ecology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe was a scientist, so she brought home economics to a very different level\u2014a high level\u2014so that it incorporated the scientific and the human aspect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flemmie Kittrell was born in Henderson, NC, in 1904, the eighth of nine children. She earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in home economics from Virginia\u2019s Hampton University (then the Hampton Institute) in 1928 and taught elsewhere briefly before heading to Cornell, encouraged by her professors to pursue graduate study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She thrived on the Hill, where home economics pioneers Flora Rose and Martha Van Rensselaer had developed a global approach to combating malnutrition. Kittrell did her doctoral research on infant feeding practices in Black communities in rural North Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

After earning her degree, she returned to Hampton to teach nutrition\u2014ultimately heading its home economics department, becoming dean of women, and serving as its first Black female trustee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1944, she moved to Howard University, where she taught, researched, and chaired the home economics program for the next three decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the national level, Kittrell spent time at the White House and discussed issues like global hunger and women\u2019s rights with Eleanor Roosevelt; she also was close friends with human rights activist Dorothy Height and cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead.<\/p>\n<\/div>

At Cornell, Kittrell found an ideal place for her doctoral studies; the University was a leader in the development of home economics as an academic field.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 1946, the State Department sent Kittrell and several other Howard professors to Liberia to study nutrition\u2014the first full-scale U.S. nutritional survey of another country\u2014and build education networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there, Kittrell coined the term \u201chidden hunger\u201d to describe those who have enough food to feel full, but whose limited diets lead to nutritional deficits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several years later, she received Fulbright funding to help establish a home economics college at a university in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She went on to travel extensively\u2014from Hawaii, Sweden, and Japan to countries throughout West and Central Africa\u2014working on behalf of the State Department, other government agencies, NGOs, the U.N., and the Methodist Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe many sensitive and vital assignments which she was to carry out in Asia and Africa,\u201d one of her biographers noted, \u201cwould earn her the title of \u2018world commuter.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was in front of a national assembly of Methodist delegates that she delivered a powerful call to action, declaring: \u201cWhile man cannot live by bread alone, it is the foundation upon which all other needs rest … Bread is necessary to sustain life\u2014but what shall we do with life after it has been sustained?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bread is necessary to sustain life\u2014but what shall we do with life after it has been sustained?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

At Howard, she championed bringing international students to the university and also encouraged graduates to seek careers abroad. (Its 1956 yearbook, dedicated to Kittrell, declared the campus a \u201ccenter of international education.\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Howard, Kittrell continued her efforts to influence national policymaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the face of transition,\u201d Kittrell once said, \u201cthe family and the home must remain the cornerstone from which learning flows to enable society to handle change in a progressive way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Kittrell launched studies on Black children\u2019s health and nutrition in cities. She also helped run the first pilot studies\u2014as well as a nursery school\u2014for the Head Start early childhood education initiative, later training 2,000 workers for the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kittrell retired from teaching in 1972 but continued traveling, and returned to the Hill as a visiting research fellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human Ecology long had a lecture series in her name; it became the Flemmie Kittrell Visiting Scholar<\/a> program in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t have time to get married or have a family of my own,\u201d she once told her niece, Kittrell-Williams. \u201cMy work\u2014that\u2019s my children. The children of the world. And just like I would do with any other family, I do for them, with all my heart and my time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
