48 years later the
grand-daughter of Rhoda Bement ran a Philadelphia settlement house, arranged
for and worked with W. E. B. DuBois doing an sociological study of the ghetto
it served. The Philadelphia Negro launched urban
sociology. Her name was Katharine Bement Davis (KBD), whose middle name came
from Rhoda’s last name. Grandma lived with Davis family in upstate NY. |
