Barbara V. Brandy was born and raised in South Bend, In. A graduate of Central High School and she went on to continue her education at Indiana University of Bloomington. She was the first black secretary to be hired at Robertson Department Store, Bendix Corporation, Kaley/J.F.Kennedy Elementary School and Executive Secretary of the St. Joe County Engineer Dept. where she retired. This mother, grandmother and great grandmother is known as "The Little Girl In The Red Bathing Suit," the civil rights icon of the Indiana University Civil Right Heritage Center of South Bend, Indiana. Mrs. Brandy's mindset as a woman/mother was knowledge is key and she prided herself in continued self education outside of the class room. Literature, history, the arts, business, current policies and local government could be the topic of the day when conversing with her. When her children posed a question to her, the response would be "It's in one of those books in there", to encourage the process of research, independent thinking or it was teaching time as she loved to do by bi-weekly taking trips to the library. She passed these practices to her children, grand, great grand and neighborhood children. They were taught that the only thing that can stop you is you. God has placed you here to show the world there is a light inside of you. Let it shine, work hard, perfect your craft and leave things better than you found it.
