The Alice Fields Community Center For Black Women & Marginalized Genders.
Alice Fields was a mother of 7 and a fierce activist, organizing with her community to ensure that all children received an equitable public education. Later in life, she became a matriarch of sorts, well known in her NYC, Upper West Side community for helping residents, especially children. She became everybody’s mother and eventually grandmother. Where someone needed help she had a hand to lend.
She believed deeply in compassion and often nurtured those who others had given up on. She left an impressive legacy of activism, love, resilience, and courage. Alice lived the life she wanted when the cost was extremely high for Black women and we honor her spirit and life in this space by doing the same.
