She attended Howard University and Barnard College, where she became recognized as America's first Black female Anthropologist.


Eartha Kitt (January 17, 1927 - December 25, 2008) was born in North, South Carolina. An actress, songstress, dancer; she stated that she owed her longevity to growing her own food and raising her own chickens, even when she lived in Los Angeles, CA.
