They wed and moved to St. Petersburg, with a promise to her parents that she would continue her education and earn a degree.<\/p>\n

It would be more than 20 years and two grown children later, but she made good on that promise by enrolling in PEL, the Eckerd College Program for Experienced Learners<\/a>, a night-class and weekends bachelor\u2019s degree program geared toward older students with careers that continued to enroll students through 2016. She graduated in 2004 with a bachelor\u2019s degree in business and high honors.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit”

Terri says the learning beyond the classroom was one of the advantages of her Eckerd PEL experience. Today, Terri is one of many PEL graduates to hold high-profile jobs in the St. Petersburg community, serving as executive director of The Woodson African American Museum of Florida<\/a>. She remembers being in class with now-Pinellas County Commissioner Rene Flowers and others, sharing their stories with classmates who welcomed the opportunity to learn.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur voices were very loud in those settings for conveying truths as it related to the experience of African Americans and people of color,\u201d she said, adding that her classmates received their insights with respect. \u201cWe had very candid conversations about a whole host of things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Terri continued to advocate for and share those experiences beyond Eckerd\u2019s campus. She was no stranger to making history herself in her career: She was the first African American employed in the St. Petersburg Office of the Mayor<\/a> and City Council<\/a> in 1987, where she served \u00a0four Mayors’ administrations and more than 50 members of City Council over her nearly 30-year career as a city administrative officer.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column

After serving as chair of the Woodson Museum\u2019s board since 2008, she became executive director in 2017 after retirement and made it her mission to secure another jewel among St. Petersburg\u2019s vast array of museums.<\/p>\n

The Woodson Museum\u2014like every other African American history museum in the state\u2014is housed in a repurposed building that was not constructed to be a museum. This limits the museum\u2019s ability to showcase art by Black artists and to house world-class traveling exhibits, and more generally, to fulfill its purpose of sharing the history of Black Americans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like it was an atrocity that with all the museums we have here, the African American history, stories, art, and artifacts are in a public housing community center,\u201d she says. \u201cMy engagement just became further fueled as I continued to visit Black museums across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Terri\u2019s advocacy for creating Florida’s first African American Museum built for that intended purpose was elevated when Mayor Ken Welch\u2014also St. Petersburg\u2019s first Black mayor<\/a>\u2014placed a proposal for bids to redevelop Tropicana Field with a focus on equity. The museum has been included in the selected redevelopment proposal, including a $10 million commitment from The Rays. Terri is hopeful that the lives and history of African Americans will be properly displayed, preserved, presented and cultivated in the state of Florida, creating learning opportunities for all regarding the exceptional opportunities and contributions of a culture rarely acknowledged.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”48″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cWe are well on our way to creating what our community and state deserve in African American history,\u201d she says. \u201cThe great work that we\u2019ve been able to achieve, the variety we\u2019ve been able to amass \u2014we find ourselves in a wonderful position to be able to move forward.\u201d<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”48″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Terri also takes joy in the personal legacy she and Clarence have created: they recently celebrated their 42nd wedding anniversary, and she loves spending time with her adult children,\u00a0 Ashley Nicole and Clarence Alexander IV, and grandchildren Zachary Emanuel and Aliston Xavier.<\/p>\n
