I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with the
distinguished Yvonne Reed Seon Ph. D, her daughter actress Felicia Chappelle and Chara Hutchinson (FEMA Operation Chief).

Dr. Seon, a graduate of Allegheny College, American University as a Woodrow Wilson Fellow and in 1960 earned her M.A. in political science.

In 1960, she met Patrice Lumumb, leader of the newly independent Congo, on his only visit to the United States. The dynamic African leader offered Seon a job in his new government. Proficient in French, and with a keen interest in Africa, Seon accepted and served as secretary of the Inga Dam project for two years. She also served in a State Department delegation to a UNESCO conference in Paris. In 1966, Seon attended the First African Festival of the Arts held in Dakar, Senegal.

While in school at Union Graduate School, Seon became the first director of the Bolinga Black Cultural Resource Center at Wright State University. She worked for Congressman Howard Diggs in 1972. Seon became one of the first contributors to Africare, an American-based aid organization to Africa. By 1977, Seon was the first woman to serve on Africare's board of directors, and in 2002 she became its first vice chairwoman. As a graduate student, Seon was drawn to the Unitarian Universalist Church, and was later ordained as a minister. Seon currently resides in the beautiful village of Yellow Springs, Ohio on Omar Circle developed by african american Omar Robinson, an enclave for African American professionals.
