Ms. Bettye Steele Turner was involved in coordinating efforts around the March of Dimes (at that time named the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis) Mother's March Against Polio in the United States from the late 1940's - mid-1950's.[1] The Mother's March Against Polio was a social movement which is credited with helping fund Jonas Salk's polio vaccine, thereby dramatically reducing the global incidence of polio.
Career[edit]
Turner served at least four terms as the Chairperson for the Tuskegee University's (at that time known as the Tuskegee Institute) chapter of the March of Dimes.[2] In this capacity, she oversaw fundraising efforts to benefit the National Chapter of the March of Dimes' emergency fund, attended and participated in many regional and state-level meetings, and facilitated local chapter office management.[3]
By 1959, Turner was Vice-President of Tuskegee University.[4]
