Dorothye Quaye Chapman Reed graduated from the University of Mississippi in 1974 and subsequently served as the school’s first African American Admissions Counselor for several years. In 2018, Ms. Chapman Reed began a series of articles in the North Mississippi Herald focusing on individual women who made a difference, shining light on their lives and legacy. The column gave birth to a website, and in 2020, the edited volume Outstanding Black Women of Yalobusha County: Their Stories and Their Contributions to a Mississippi Community.
