English: Biography: A pioneer in providing essential health care to the rural poor in Alabama, Eunice Laurie devoted more than 50 years to the nursing profession. The eldest of three daughters of a Georgia farming family, she graduated from the nursing program at Tuskegee Institute in 1922. First, she worked for the Movable School, a bus which traveled through rural sections to teach such skills as husbandry, canning, and midwifery. In 1932, through association with the state health department, she began working wlth the U.S. government study on venereal disease in Macon County, serving as a link between the doctors and the outlying communities. At the same time, she continued her work in the maternity and well-baby clinics at John Andrew Hospital in Tuskegee. Retiring officially in 1965, Mrs. Laurie turned to work with the county health department maternity clinics for another ten years. She has been described as a health adviser, a housing adviser, a financial adviser, a spiritual adviser, and a moral adviser. She is the recipient of many awards and honors, including the Oveta Culp Hobby Award and the DHEW Distinguished Service Award. Description: The Black Women Oral History Project interviewed 72 African American women between 1976 and 1981. With support from the Schlesinger Library, the project recorded a cross section of women who had made significant contributions to American society during the first half of the 20th century.
