Description
A black and white photograph of Alice Mabel Bacon, an American writer, educator, and foreign advisor to the Japanese government.
When Alice Bacon’s home became selected to receive Japanese students for education, she became very close to one of the students, and thus inspired to help them. Though getting into a university was difficult, due to her lack of funds, she still managed to earn her teaching degree from Harvard University. She would go back and forth from American to Japan to teach Japanese students English. She was very dedicated to her students, and the best proof of that was when one of her students told her that while she wished to be a nurse, she wouldn’t be able to attend any training schools because of her race. Bacon helped raise funds to build the Dixie Hospital in May 1981. She also helped establish the Tokyo Women's Normal School in Japan.
