The first woman was Rafaela Rey. She was a PTA parent and a member of many community organizations. Rey had attended Bryn Mawr School and did not want her daughter to have an unequal education like she did. The second woman was Fernanda Cruz, a teacher at Bryn Mawr School. The third woman was Ruth Davis who was persuaded by Rey to join the school board and change the segregation policy. Together these women worked to reverse segregation. In 1942 the Bryn Mawr School was closed.
5. How does our current Bryn Mawr School community benefit from the brave civic engagement of these three women?
